Accepted Answer

Ensuring proper nutrition and weight gain in a 2-year, 4-month-old child who is a picky eater can be challenging. Here are some strategies and food options to help:

### Strategies for Picky Eaters
1. **Mix and Hide Vegetables**: Incorporate vegetables into foods they like. For example, blend vegetables into sauces, soups, or smoothies.
2. **Offer Variety**: Introduce a variety of foods in different forms (e.g., steamed, roasted, pureed) to see what they prefer.
3. **Involve Them**: Involve your child in food preparation to make them more interested in eating what they've helped make.
4. **Consistent Schedule**: Keep a consistent meal and snack schedule to regulate their appetite.
5. **Positive Environment**: Avoid forcing them to eat. Encourage them positively and praise them when they try new foods.

### Weight Gain Foods
1. **Dairy Products**: Full-fat yogurt, cheese, and milk are rich in calories and nutrients. Make smoothies with milk and fruits.
2. **Nut Butters**: Peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter spread on bread or mixed into oatmeal can add healthy fats and proteins.
3. **Fruits**: High-calorie fruits like bananas, avocados, and mangoes can be offered as snacks or mixed into meals.
4. **Whole Grains**: Offer whole grain cereals, bread, and pasta which are higher in nutrients and calories.
5. **Protein Sources**: Eggs, chicken, fish, and tofu are good protein sources. Offer these in forms your child likes, such as scrambled eggs, chicken nuggets, or fish sticks.
6. **Healthy Fats**: Include healthy fats like olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil in cooking to add extra calories.
7. **Smoothies**: Make nutrient-dense smoothies with milk, yogurt, fruits, and a spoonful of nut butter.

### Recipes and Meal Ideas
1. **Veggie Pancakes**: Mix finely grated vegetables into pancake batter.
2. **Cheese and Veggie Quesadillas**: Add cheese and finely chopped vegetables between tortillas.
3. **Fruit and Nut Butter Sandwiches**: Spread nut butter on whole grain bread and add sliced fruits like bananas or apples.
4. **Creamy Soups**: Blend vegetables into creamy soups with added cheese or cream for extra calories.
5. **Oatmeal with Toppings**: Cook oatmeal with milk and top with fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of honey.

### Supplements
If you're concerned about your child's nutrient intake, discuss with your pediatrician the possibility of supplements or fortified foods.

Being creative with meal preparation and presentation can encourage your child to try and enjoy new foods while ensuring they receive the nutrients needed for healthy growth.
