Can anybody suggest a healthy diet for 2yr old son. He weighs 10Kg and birthweight was 2.3 kg. Dr told its normal coz at the age of 2 he shd be 4 times that of birthwieght. My son eats all veg and fruits. So pls suggest a diet I can follow for my son Kranti replied. Hello,

I dont agree with Neelima( no hard feelings) that the weight of your son shoul be 13 kgs. Yes doctors and pediatricians do give charts of weight and height growth.. But it depends from individual to individual... and om the other hand ..our parents/ the last generation and also the pediatricans always say.. IF THE CHILD IS HAPPY ,PLAYING AND ACTIVE...weight does not matter. And as hetal says .. the age group betn 13-24 months does all type of NATAKS to run away from food.. same does my daughter who is 20 months.. shes also 10.2 kgs...

Give your son time.. That s what I would say as a mom of a picky eater

Best wishes,

well i think your son at age 2 should be weighing above 13 kgs.but you have nothing to worry unless your toddler is active playing, smiling..etc.the diet i would suggest to you is:
1) give him full fat versions.like you can still contnue to give him full cream milk till he turns 3yrs.give him cheese, ice cream, put butter on bread, add ghee to his food...give him avocados.
2) i suggest you use CANOLA oil and SOYABEAN OIL in your toddlers diet.these two oils contain essential fatty acids need for proper physiucal and brain development.
3)ask your doctor that can you give him PEDIASURE.also give your son HORLICKS DHA.
4)on the advice of your doctor you can gve him nut butters like peanut butter.
5) give him
1) wheat germ
2) avocado
3) cheese
4) ice cream
5) canola and soya bean oil
6) banana
7) butter and ghee
8) pediasure and horlicks dha
9) curd
10) paneer , tofu
11) potato/sweet potato
its good that you son eats al the fruits and vegetables...so what you can do is add wheat germ in banana or melt butter on his veggies..this will give him calories for development....
but once agin dont be too concerned about wieght...check yearly once..
my ideal menu would be
6am: 150ml milk
8 am: idly/dosa/upma/bread with ghee.
11 am: rice+ vege(ghee or melt butter)
12 am: frut+add wheat germ
3 pm: 150 ml milk
5pm: cheese/ tofu/panner on crackers
7 pm: chappati/parantha mde by canola oil orsoyabean oil
10 pm: 210ml milk
