Hello Dr my girl child is 2yrs old & her weight is 9.2kg... her birth weight was 3kg... her weight is not improving from last 5-6 months... is her weight is normal and how can I improve her weight... she is physically active and other growth and development are very good.

A. Dear mum, weight of 9.2 kg is a normal weight for 2 years old baby girl, do not worry. Baby’s weight at this age should be in the range of 9 kg to 14.8 kg. Also, your child being active and achieving all growth milestones, indicates good health. For healthy weight gain, give homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. More than 500 ml of milk every day including milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. You can give eggs and non veg foods. Add nuts like almonds to baby’s diet. Add ghee to baby’s food.
