Hello dear parent, for 5 years old child you should give him supplements like iron calcium and vitamin etc but with the doctors permission only one. Also give full cream milk either plain or in the form of banana shake, strawberry shake, Chikoo shake etc as they are healthy and helps in weight gain too. Give rich diet like ghee butter cheese etc but in limit. Also balance his diet with green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits. Good luck and take care
