my baby is 10 months old and weighs only 7.8kgs. i feed her five meals per day including oats (morning), fruit puree (early afternoon), rice&vegetables(afternoon), milk&biscuits (evening) & rice& vegetables (night). she does not take any milk apart from this. what are the changes i need to do in ther diet for increasing her weight? since she does not take bottle, is it okay if she is not fed milk in the night?
Is it a male or female child? If it is male, weight needs to be considered even more as it is going behind 5th gentile. If female, it's below 25th gentile. I can help you out with the following plan:3 main meals with 2 snacks in betweenMain meals should have, grains(Barley, Buckwheat, Flax, Oats, Pasta, Rice, Sesame), vegetables(Asparagus, Broccoli, Eggplant, Carrots, Peas), meat proteins (Beef, Egg yolk, Fish, Ham) and oil or butter. Fat gives more calories in a growing child. You can give fruits and biscuits as snacks in between. Cottage cheese and Yogurt can be added up as snacks. Milk and other dairy products will be helpful once or twice a day. Your child might need a catch-up growth. Increase the portion size and make diversities in cooking meals in different tastes. Better avoid sugar and salty foods. We need to have a record on your children growth parameters. You can consult a Nutritionist for further development.
