#asktheexperts my daughter is 9.30 kg only (birth weight is 2.7 kg) is it normal?? Or what can i give her for weight gaining? She is a picky eater. She loves to eat fruits and vegetables only and hates all cereals.

A. she should be fed all home food. Give protein rich diet...as protien is building unit of our body. Like- all pulses, eggs, all milk and milk products, banana, youghrt, beans, chickpeas, tofu, nuts.These foods are important for your child’s bone growth, muscle development and stimulate body growth. As they are rich in proteins and minerals, including them in a child’s diet ensures increase in height and weight. In fact, dried fruits and nuts are the most ideal food for undernourished children to gain weight as they provide all the required micro-nutrients along with calories and fats.
