A. If your 1-year-8-month-old baby is underweight and you want to help with healthy weight gain, focus on nutritious calorie-dense foods and a balanced diet. Weight Gain Tips for Toddlers (1.8 Years Old) ✅ High-Calorie, Nutrient-Rich Foods ✔ Full-Fat Dairy – Whole milk, paneer, cheese, curd, homemade ghee. ✔ Healthy Fats – Ghee, butter, coconut, peanut butter, avocado. ✔ Protein-Rich Foods – Eggs, dal, sprouts, chicken, fish. ✔ Carbohydrates for Energy – Banana, sweet potato, potato, rice, oats. ✔ Nuts & Seeds – Almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds (crushed or in paste form). ✔ Homemade Weight Gain Mix – Roasted dry fruits powder mixed in milk or porridge. ✅ Meal Plan for Weight Gain 🥣 Breakfast – Banana pancake / Suji halwa with ghee / Dalia with nuts. 🍽️ Mid-Morning Snack – Whole milk / Curd + dry fruits powder. 🍛 Lunch – Dal rice with ghee / Paneer paratha with curd. 🍎 Evening Snack – Boiled egg / Homemade chilla with butter. 🍲 Dinner – Roti with ghee & dal / Oats with mashed banana. 🥛 Bedtime – Warm milk with almond powder. ✅ Additional Tips ✔ Offer small meals every 2-3 hours. ✔ Avoid junk food, excess sugar, and packaged snacks. ✔ Encourage self-feeding to improve appetite. ✔ Ensure good sleep – Lack of sleep affects weight gain. If your baby is active and playful but still underweight, don't worry too much. But if there is constant weight loss or poor appetite, consult a pediatrician.
