A. For a 1-year-6-month-old (18-month-old) child, a weight of 8.5 kg is generally considered to be on the lower side of the normal weight range. Typically, the average weight for this age group can range from about 9 kg to 12 kg, depending on various factors such as genetics, diet, and overall health. Factors to Consider: Height: Weight should be evaluated in relation to height. If your child's height is also on the lower side, it may indicate a growth trend that needs attention. Growth Patterns: Consistent growth is more important than any single measurement. Tracking weight and height over time can provide a clearer picture of growth. Activity Level: An active child may weigh less but still be healthy if they are meeting developmental milestones. Recommendations: 1. Consult a Pediatrician: If you're concerned about your child's weight, it’s best to consult a pediatrician for personalized advice and evaluation. 2. Nutrient-Dense Foods: Focus on providing a balanced diet with calorie-dense foods to support healthy weight gain. Options include: Full-fat dairy products (yogurt, cheese) Nut butters (if no allergies) Avocados Bananas Soft-cooked lentils and beans 3. Regular Monitoring: Keep track of her weight and height during routine check-ups to ensure she is growing adequately. If your daughter is active, reaching developmental milestones, and has a good appetite overall, a lower weight may not be a significant concern. However, it’s always good to discuss any worries with a healthcare provider.
