A. dear mum, wish you a happy day! Weight of 9.4 kg is a normal weight for your 18 months old child, do not worry. For healthy weight gain, child should be having a balanced diet having all the food groups You should be giving all the foods that you prepare in your house. Give top food 5 times a day and up to one katori every time. Also give one healthy snack in between. Give nuts like almond, dry fruits. All seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables. Proteins like eggs, beans, pulses, milk and milk products, chicken. At least 500 ml of milk and milk products like curd, paneer, cheese. Avoid fruit juice and instead give the whole fruit. avoid intake of junk and packet foods
