not eating well so weight is only 8.5 kg. how do my baby get average weight

A. At 2 years and 2 months, an average baby usually weighs around 11–13 kg, so 8.5 kg is slightly underweight. If your baby is not eating well, focus on offering nutrient-dense, high-calorie foods in small, frequent meals. Here are some suggestions: Healthy fats: Add ghee, butter, or olive oil to foods like khichdi, dal rice, or mashed potatoes. Full-fat dairy: Offer whole milk, cheese, yogurt, paneer, or milk-based porridges. Protein-rich foods: Include eggs, lentils, well-cooked chicken or fish, and mashed beans. Fruits and vegetables: Use bananas, avocados, mangoes, and boiled sweet potatoes for energy and nutrition. Frequent small meals: Offer meals every 2-3 hours, even if it's just a few bites at a time. Also, avoid giving junk food or sugary snacks, which fill the stomach without offering nutrients. Keep mealtimes calm and distraction-free. If poor appetite continues or weight doesn’t improve, consult a pediatrician to check for any underlying issue like anemia, worm infection, or nutrient deficiencies.
