hi My daughter is 10months old and she is only 7.3kgs. her birthweight was 3.5kg. she was on nan-1 till 6months. She was 6.5kgs at that time. when we introduced the local packet milk, she passed stool 4times a day..we assumed that its due to her first tooth. that month she gained only 200gms. Later she is on Isomil. Since her weight gain was so poor, we took all sort of tests , all reports were normal and she is diagnosed with failure to thrive. Pls advise on how to improve her weight..she is also on rice/ragi..no wheat..
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Regards -
