POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 9 yr old boy3 years agoA. Breast Milk. Let's start off with the most obvious suggestion there is – feed your child breast milk! ...Bananas. This fruit is rich in potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and carbohydrates. ...Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes are easy to boil and mash. ...Pulses. ...Ragi. ...Ghee. ...DAIRY. ...Eggs.Some kids just do not seem to gain weight, and there could be multiple reasons behind this. One reason is the genetic constitution of the underweight child’s parents. If both the mother and the father are lean, the baby may share similar physical attributes. Metabolism also plays an important part in a child’s weight gain pattern. If your child is otherwise active and healthy, she will eventually meet the weight milestone for her age.Ensure that the child gets adequate exercise and indulges in physical activities so that her appetite is healthy.Focus on providing a healthy, well-balanced, and nutritious diet and don’t just concentrate on weight gain.As the child grows, introduce her to sports such as swimming, cycling, etc. Active participation in sports will help her work up an appetite and also help develop her physique.This is an active phase in your baby’s life, and lots of development happens during this age in terms of emotional and social growth. Your child will start exploring the world and will be exposed to other children in daycare or when you take her for a stroll in the neighbourhood. Immunity and food habits that were built up in the first year will now be even more important. The weighing scales will show fluctuations based on various factors and emotional state of mind, anxiety of separation from parents, new environments, and changes in diet and food habits.bulk up mashed potato by putting milk or cheese in it.put grated cheese on beans on toast.make milk puddings.make soups with milk instead of water.
