A. yeah.. weight is good, Child at this age are picky/ choosy eaters. Give him a normal food in small amounts anndd in frequent intervals. Feed same food items (menue) continue for 4-5 days then change the food item for another 4-5days. Feed with other family members.

A. 11.2 to 17.6 kg is the average weight range for this age group. So the child is within the average weight range. But For improving the immunity, you should be giving a healthy and balanced diet. The child's regular meals should comprise of cereals, pulses, greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dry fruits, dairy products etc., There should be more protein and Vitamin C intake which are very good in building immunity. Vegetables, fruits and spices protect the child from falling sick, cereals, nuts and dry fruits provide energy, protein rich foods help in the child's growth and Milk and milk products does all three jobs - protection, energy, body building. You should make sure all these are in balance in ur child's regular meals.
