My son is not gaining much weight
Hello.. My son is 2 year 7 months age.. His weight is 11kg 700gm. Birth weight 2.700kg.. He is taking breakfast with nuts /dates, then morning fruits, lunch rice fish dal sabji, evening 200ml nangrow, dinner roti dal boiled egg like this.. According to me he is eating not very much but sufficient as per his age.. Taking liquid 600ml a day..He is an active child.. But not gaining weight what to do?? Which type of food have to introduce him for gaining weight??
What is the height and head size. That is also important. Weight is between 3 rd to 50th centile for age so no problem. If activities are normal, no need to change anything. He will gain weight at a later age as he is eating a good diet. Many times weight stays low for a few years and then increases in spurts. So keep monitoring every 3 months. Visit a pediatrician for more detailed explanation
