Mera baby 18 months ka hai uska weight gain ni ho rha hai kya diet du. bnana ni khtata hai wo.#asktheexpert

A. If your 18-month-old baby is not gaining weight and refuses to eat foods like banana, it's important to focus on offering a variety of nutritious, energy-dense foods in small, frequent meals. Include foods like mashed sweet potatoes, dal khichdi with ghee, paneer, curd, egg yolk (if non-vegetarian), and soft parathas with butter. Offer fruits like mango, chikoo, or apple puree if your child dislikes banana. Make meals appealing and avoid force-feeding—sometimes toddlers eat better when not pressured. Also, ensure your child is active, alert, and meeting other growth milestones. If weight gain is very slow, consider checking with a pediatrician to rule out any digestion or nutrient absorption issues. A doctor may also recommend supplements if needed.
