A. if you are really concerned about it then I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician to have a detailed physical examination of your child to rule out any organic problems

A. Give whole grains and starchy carbohydrates. Give beans and pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other protein. Make your kid drink lots of water.

A. If the child is eating well and is active, you should not worry about his weight. Give whole cow's milk and milk products like ghee in small amounts, paneer, cheese, butter and curd. Try increasing their portion sizes at mealtimes - bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. Or instead of giving larger portions, increase the energy density of your kid's meals until they have reached a healthy weight. Give five portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables everyday.
