A. In such a query ,a detailed clinical assessment is required once so you should contact your nearby doctor or pediatrician to get physical examination done for proper diagnosis and then only proper treatment suggestions can be given .for proper weight gain of the baby, you need to give a proper balanced diet that meets nutritional requirement according to the age for normal growth.you can add dairy products like curd cheese butter and mix into the food items as well as give all homemade preparations.. apart from this you should give all seasonal fruits and vegetables introduced in discrete flavours to develop interest of the baby. it is very important to make the the feeding a gaming activity rather than forcing the child to eat. you should avoid any kind of junk food in between meals and do not give lot of milk too,so that the baby should feel hungry for proper meals. you should also give protein rich diet preferably egg and paneer etc. in the milk you can mix any good health supplement powder like kids Pro or nangrow if the baby is above 2yrs of age or dry fruits powder if possible. you can get your child examined by pediatrician onceso as to rule out any other possibility that will affect the growth and diet of the baby.
