A. I understand your concern, as it’s natural to worry about your child's growth and development. For a one-year-old weighing 6.5 kg, a few factors could be affecting his weight, including his appetite, activity level, metabolism, and even genetics. While you’re already ensuring he has a regular diet, it might help to focus on nutrient-dense foods that can aid weight gain, like mashed avocado, full-fat yogurt, banana, sweet potatoes, and dal (lentil) mixed with ghee or butter. These foods offer healthy fats and proteins that provide both calories and essential nutrients. Additionally, you could consider offering smaller meals more frequently, so he has consistent intake throughout the day. Since he's still young, regular check-ups with your pediatrician are essential. They can monitor his growth pattern and suggest dietary adjustments or supplements if needed. It’s also important to rule out any underlying medical issues, such as digestive problems or food intolerances, that might be impacting his weight gain. Remember, each baby grows at their own pace, and with the right support, he should gradually reach his milestones.
