hello
thanks for writing
a child of this age should be eating from the family pot almost everything a adult has minus spices etc
if he is weighing only 8.5kg his weight is less for the age
so you will have to improve his calorie intake by giving him calorie rich food
give him lot of fruits, vegetables and improve his fiber intake for constipation
giving enough water is also required to treat constipation
dal should be present in diet along with cereals for complementing the proteins of each
hope this helps
take care

Welcome,
Mungdal every day is ok,but make sure he drinks enough amount of water.Give him water at d night also,when he wakes inbetween.Give 1/2 tsf ghee with warm milk just before he goes to sleep.liquid diet such as spinach soup ,fruit juice etc. is useful.

Hi,thanks for query.This is a very common problem this days.Please avoid giving him any maize products like bread,biscuits etc.Give more of vegetable soups,fruit juices,plenty of liquids to drink.See whether he has got some local problem because of which he may be avoiding passing stool.
wishing him good health.
wishing him good health.
