Question

Accepted Answer

If your 15-month-old baby is having frequent motions, cold, and cough, leading to weight loss, it is important to focus on treating the illness first and then working on weight gain.

✅ Steps to Manage Motion, Cold & Cough

1️⃣ Hydration is Key – Give ORS, coconut water, dal water, buttermilk, or light soups to prevent dehydration.
2️⃣ Easy-to-Digest Foods – Feed soft khichdi, mashed banana, curd rice, boiled apple, and moong dal soup to avoid further stomach irritation.
3️⃣ Boost Immunity – Include homemade chicken soup, turmeric milk, ginger-honey mix (for babies above 1 year), and tulsi kadha to fight infections.
4️⃣ Steamed & Warm Foods – Help with digestion and ease congestion.

✅ Best Foods for Weight Gain After Recovery

Once your baby feels better, introduce:
✔ Ghee, butter, and cheese for healthy fats.
✔ Eggs, paneer, curd, dal, and fish for protein.
✔ Banana, avocado, sweet potato, and ragi porridge for good carbs.
✔ Soaked almonds, cashews, and walnuts (powdered) for extra calories.
✔ Milkshakes, smoothies, and homemade halwa for energy.

🚨 When to See a Doctor?

❌ If diarrhea lasts more than 3-4 days.
❌ Baby is weak, refusing food/milk, or has high fever.
❌ If weight keeps dropping despite proper food intake.

Focus on small, frequent meals and gentle foods while recovering. Let me know if you need more help! 💕
