POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your boy Devansh’s height and weight growth is slow, don’t worry—many children grow at their own pace. However, it’s important to ensure he’s getting proper nutrition, rest, and physical activity. Here are a few things you can do:
Balanced diet: Offer a variety of foods including proteins (like eggs, dal, paneer, chicken), healthy fats (ghee, nuts, seeds), carbohydrates (roti, rice, oats), fruits, and vegetables. Avoid junk and processed food.
Frequent meals: Give him 5-6 small meals a day if he doesn’t eat much at once. Include calorie-dense yet healthy items like banana, mashed potatoes, dry fruits powder in milk, etc.
Check for deficiencies: Sometimes growth slows due to iron, calcium, or vitamin D deficiency. A blood test and pediatrician consultation can help rule this out.
Sleep and activity: Ensure he gets enough sleep (10–12 hours) and plays actively every day. Physical activity helps with growth hormone release.
Regular checkups: Track his height and weight monthly. If he’s consistently below the growth curve, consult your pediatrician or a pediatric endocrinologist to rule out any medical causes.
If you'd like, I can suggest a sample daily diet plan based on his age. Would you like that? Also, please share his age and current weight/height for a better suggestion.

In that case you should consult your doctor to know why your child is not gaining sufficient amount of weight health or height which is important as per the growing age so they will be able to help you with the right kind of diet and supplements to boost the growth of your child
