Since your child is active and healthy, being 10.5 kg isn’t necessarily a concern. However, if you want to support weight gain, focus on nutrient-dense foods rather than just high-calorie options.
Foods to Help with Weight Gain:
✅ Healthy Fats – Ghee, butter, coconut, nuts, and seeds (almonds, walnuts, peanuts).
✅ Dairy – Full-fat milk, cheese, paneer, curd.
✅ Protein – Eggs, chicken, fish, dals, sprouts, soya, peanut butter.
✅ Carbohydrates – Rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, whole wheat roti, oats, suji.
✅ Fruits – Bananas, mangoes, avocados, chikoo, dates.
✅ Dry Fruits & Nuts Powder – Mix with milk, porridge, or kheer.
Meal Ideas:
🥣 Morning: Banana milkshake with almonds, oats porridge with ghee.
🍛 Lunch: Rice + dal with ghee, roti with paneer sabzi, boiled egg.
🧀 Snacks: Cheese sandwich, dry fruits laddoo, peanut butter toast.
🍲 Dinner: Khichdi with ghee, vegetable paratha with curd.
If your child is energetic, eating well, and developing normally, there’s no major concern. However, if you notice poor appetite, frequent illness, or very slow growth, consult a pediatrician. Let me know if you need a detailed meal plan!
