Foods to Help with Weight Gain:
✔ Dairy Products – Full-fat milk, cheese, paneer, curd.
✔ Healthy Fats – Ghee, butter, coconut, avocado.
✔ Protein-Rich Foods – Dal, eggs, chicken, fish, soya, sprouts.
✔ Fruits & Vegetables – Banana, mango, papaya, sweet potato.
✔ Dry Fruits & Nuts – Almond powder, walnuts, dates (soaked & mashed).
✔ Carbohydrates – Rice, whole wheat, suji halwa, daliya, roti with ghee.
Feeding Tips:
✔ Offer food every 2-3 hours in small portions.
✔ Use homemade calorie-dense meals like khichdi with ghee, mashed potatoes with butter.
✔ Avoid junk and processed foods.
✔ Ensure proper hydration with soups, fruit juices, and breast milk/formula if still taking.
If your baby is active and achieving milestones, don’t worry too much. But if weight gain is too slow or stagnant, consult a pediatrician for advice.
