Hello thanx for using hcm
As per her age her Weight is good.Ideal weight should be 21-26 kg and height of 118 -126 cm.
Dont over feed the child, she is not under weight,or else it results in child hood obesity.
Give her healthy foods rather than chips, choclates, bakery products.
serve variety of whole cereals like chapathi, rice, noodles, macaroni, oats. Give more of fruits and vegetables in the form of soups , cooked vegtables , juices.Milk shakes are the most enjoyable nutritious liquids kids love to have.Always give variety so that they can enjoy the food.
