1. Nutrient-Dense Diet: Protein: Include eggs, dal, paneer, chicken, or fish (if non-vegetarian). Healthy Fats: Add ghee, olive oil, avocado, and nuts (like almonds or walnuts, ground into powder and added to meals). Carbohydrates: Offer whole grains like rice, roti, and oats, as well as starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes. Calcium: Provide milk (or dairy alternatives), curd, and cheese for strong bones. Fruits and Vegetables: Give fruits like bananas, mangoes, and apples; vegetables like carrots, spinach, and peas for vitamins and minerals. Healthy Snacks: Include homemade laddus (with nuts and dry fruits), smoothies, and yogurt with fruit. 2. Adequate Sleep: Ensure your child gets 10-12 hours of sleep for growth hormone secretion. 3. Physical Activity: Encourage active play such as running, jumping, climbing, or swimming to stimulate growth and muscle development. 4. Monitor Health: If weight and height are still not improving, consult a pediatrician to rule out any nutritional deficiencies or underlying health conditions.
