mam my son is 5 year's 10 month old his weight 12 kg what I do for him

A. Your 5-year-10-month-old son weighs 12 kg, which is quite low for his age. Ideally, the average weight for a child of this age should be 18–22 kg (depending on height and genetics). However, if he is active, healthy, and eating well, there may not be a serious issue. Possible Reasons for Low Weight: Poor Appetite – Does he eat small portions or prefer only certain foods? Nutrient Deficiencies – Lack of iron, zinc, or proteins can cause slow weight gain. High Metabolism – Some kids burn calories faster and need extra nutrition. Frequent Illnesses or Worms – Has he had deworming in the last 6 months? Food Preferences – Does he avoid milk, ghee, fruits, or protein-rich foods? What You Can Do to Help Him Gain Weight? ✔ Increase Calories with Nutrient-Dense Foods: Full-fat dairy: Milk, paneer, cheese, curd, homemade shakes. Healthy fats: Ghee, butter, coconut, dry fruits, peanut butter. Protein-rich foods: Eggs, chicken, fish, dal, soya, sprouts. Weight-gain snacks: Banana, dates, ragi porridge, makhana, laddoos. ✔ Give Frequent, Small Meals (Every 2-3 Hours) Include homemade smoothies, dry fruit milkshakes, or khichdi. ✔ Deworming Check If he hasn’t been dewormed in 6 months, ask your doctor about it. ✔ Encourage Physical Activity Mild exercise and outdoor play increase appetite. When to See a Doctor? ⚠ If he is very weak, tired, or gets sick often. ⚠ If his weight hasn’t improved in 2–3 months despite better diet. ⚠ If he refuses food completely or has digestive issues.
