Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. for proper weight gain of the baby, you need to give a proper balanced diet that meets nutritional requirement according to the age for normal growth.you can add dairy products like curd cheese butter and mix into the food items as well as give all homemade preparations.. apart from this you should give all seasonal fruits and vegetables introduced in discrete flavours to develop interest of the baby.
it is very important to make the the feeding a gaming activity rather than forcing the child to eat.
you should avoid any kind of junk food in between meals and do not give lot of milk too,so that the baby should feel hungry for proper meals.
you should also give protein rich diet preferably egg and paneer etc. in the milk you can mix any good health supplement powder like kids Pro or nangrow if the baby is above 2yrs of age or dry fruits powder if possible.
you can get your child examined by pediatrician once to rule out any other possibility that will affect the growtflih and diet of the baby.

POOJA GOSWAMIMom of a 10 yr 6 m old girl4 years agoA. Most of the kids take time to develop taste for solid foods, therefore it is important to mix variety of foods so that maximum nutrition can be given even in smaller quantities. Try not to force feed and make eating a fun time. Serve in a kiddie bowl or plate from brands like Babyhug feeding range and give in different shapes and colors to make it interesting. Keep giving finger foods to develop chewing habits.
