Thanks swapna replied. Hi,

My daughter is in her 19th month, her weight is around 33 pounds. This is the same time format I follow for her. Except for 9.30-10 am feeding instead of banana I feed her dry cereal(GERBER Cereal flakes for babies) with whole milk. we buy them from GIANT(if you live in USA) and also you can feed him rice cereal or oatmeal cereal with milk. My doctor told me to stop giving powdered cereal because her weight was a little over. You can also feed him eggs, bread toast with butter. Other than that I don't see any changes are needed, you are feeding him nutritious food. There is no need to feel guilty as long as he is active, playing and all. It might help a bit more if you talk with his pediatrician.
Vidya replied. In breakfast instead of just giving him banana try cereal with milk and fruit. Try parantha and add ghee to it.
Try omelete which has fats and proteins.

Also you can give him pediasure, which helps to increase weight.

Take care! harini replied. may increase the time gap between his meals.. he will eat more..
