What Could Cause Underweight In A 1 Year Old Child?
hi ..my second son is 1 year 2 months old ..his weight is 6.8 kg.which is very less..i got his routine blood,urine,chest x-ray done.but result shows no problem.he is active.walks and clearing all milestones.he likes eating everything..what should i do ?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. If the baby is underweight but active without any problem diet modification may be necessary. Energy dense foods like rice+dal with ghee, rice+milk with sugar, porridge. High calorie and protein rich foods will help increasing weight. An appetiser like cyproheptadine may improve food intake. Better consult a dietician for diet schedule. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
