Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. growth of the child can be ensured by fulfillment of proper nutritional requirement specially iron and vit D is required for better growth and cognition.you should ensure that the child should get a proper balanced diet which contains all types of micro and macronutrients essential for growth.
any kind of infection specially any chronic infection should be ruled out and treated which may hamper the growth otherwise.
after 2 years of age you can give some powder like nangro/ prohance junior mixed with milk twice a day for one or two months but any health drink is not recommended before two yrs of age.u can add flavours also to milk. avoid giving too much of milk otherwise it may hamper the hunger of the baby and the baby may not be taking interest in having other variety of food .and opposite to that if the baby is not taking milk properly the dairy products will be a gpefood substitute like curd, paneer n cheese etc.
SandhyaMom of a 8 yr 8 m old girl3 years agoA. Hi, firstly concentrate on your diet as you’ll be breastfeeding your baby. have a healthy fibre, calcium and iron rich food. Take adequate liquid. Every day massage with coconut oil and give bath to baby. Expose the baby to early morning sunlight for about 15 to 20 minutes in a day. Always use a cotton cap To cover the head. Make sure the babies room is ventilated well. Exclusively breastfeed which is best for baby at this age.
