Im marrd for last 2 years. My husband’s cousin sister stays with me…she doesn’t hv mother …that’s y my mil takes care of her…mostly she has survived on cow’s milk n she was bottle fed at a very early age…right now she is 7 year’s old studying in std 11…but her weight is 10 kgs….

She looks like 3 –4 years old kid…her bones are really very thin…she doesn’t eat properly…we use to gv her appetite syrups still she wudnt eat …
She is very much interested in studies but compared to the hard work she does her result is always bad….

This is what she eats….
Morning at 8am she will eat 2 marie biscuits with tea…at 11 am..quarter chapati ..with very very little bhaji….to school she takes potato chips or wafers….around 5pm she will eat outside vada pav then straight at night she eat rice with dal or bhaji…but very little in saucer size plate…she hardly drinks water thruout the day…she can drink pepsi..colas readily….

Whatever she eats it will be mostly outside food or junk food ..that too it will be I a very less quantity…required for her survival …since she doesn’t hv a mother n she is so weak we pamper her …..n gvs her whatever she wants…

But I feel really bad whn I look at her ..she 7 n weighs only 10 kgs…if soemone can advice me about how to improve her health

satya replied. Please consult a pediatrician . Doctors have their own way of talking to children and handling them .
May be your girl can understand or listen to the doctor better.
Also, you can try giving her healthy food (though a little but many times in a day), fruits etc.

What is ideal weight for 2 and a half year old male child with good height? nv replied. My baby is 1 year and 2 month and weighs 10 kg. I think ur kid is heavily mal nourished and not properly taken care at all. The amt of food intake is so depressing. I think u need some education abt food!
