A. as of now ghee in khichdi n potatoes.You can always try to add health and tasty substitute like whole grain cookies, cakes and. Home made papad etc.patience is very important too.To increase weight you must add high energy foods like eggs paneer , soya , ghee in rice , khichdi etc.this will boost him ok.

A. U Can consult an expert in this area and nutrition doctor would be able to tell you with the right kind of diet that you should follow for your child because right now your child is quite underway at a minimum 8 KG weight should have been there but your child is 6 KG that’s really very less
