Accepted Answer

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 nafngrow if the baby is above 2yrs of age or dry fruits powder if possible.
you can get your child examined by pediatrician gonceso as  to rule out any other possibility that will affect the growth and diet of the baby.

hi
yes ,kids can be fussy eaters.
so for that ,I advise to set consistent mealtimes for your child
Serve different cusinies in your child diet which will help to encourage your child to take interest in food.
try food with different taste and different texture.
for example
if a child doesn't like to take rice ,you can offer it in different forms like kheer, khichdi, khichu, dhokla, idli, dosa etc
