How To Increase My Baby S Weight?

Hello Dr Santosh, My daughter will turn 3 yrs on 16th Jan. She is just 10.4kg. She was born with 2.8kg. Though she is active and very talkative and understands everyhing and speaks fluently mother tongue, she has not gained much weight since last 2yrs. She gained hardly 2.5 kg in last 2years. She is a vegetarian but eats everything, though we feed her. I feel there is something wrong in he growth. I see acording to growth curve she should be atleast 12kg by her 3rd year. Please suggest how can she increase her weight. She looks like a 2yr oldd girl. Thanks in advance

Thank you for follow up. My name is Dr.Svetlana. I want to ask you how often she eat, has she stool after every meal, did you check her for worms. At the first you should do stool examination, stool culture, stool for ova and cyst, check blood test for anaemia. Of couse, for profilaxis you can give zentel syrup 1 time, then you should start to feed baby every 4 hours 4 times in a day and between give fruits to her. Give to her in the evening 4 tablespoons porridge with milk, in the afternoon - blended dahi 200ml +panir 100gr+a little sugar. Give to her cookies, egg every alternative day. In addition start to give multivitamins-zincovit 1 teaspoon 1 time 2months and digestive enzyme syrup. She is hyperactive, try to involve her indoor games and see how much she eat. In addition she can eat boiled potato, salad, soup with mushrooms, eggs, cheese, boiled cow milk 200ml every day ,then she will gain. I will wait results of your analises then we will discuss.

Best regards
Dr.Svetlana
