Does he eat normally? or does he refuse to eat food? If he eats normally and still not gaining weight, there is nothing much you can do. If he eats less and that's why he is not gaining weight, then feed him bananas. It is not only healthy, but he can put on weight. Sweets and cakes have excess oils so it is better to feed them less. Try finding some indian pastry shops like hot breads, if there are any shops in your location. Generally they have egg less cakes and pastries. I suggest eating healthy eventhough thin, rather than putting on weight with added sugars. All the best.

Vijaya;
Did you check the Chitvish recipe? Most of the bakes are eggless, so you can make it at home, and that way it is healthy too.
For snack, personally I feel ot is better not to go for cakes and other bakery items. Maybe you can grate jaggery to atta and make godambu dosa. or Sharkara pongal. Also you can make "ela ada" with jaggery and banana as filling.

Hi,

my son is eating rice items well, but when it comes to fruits a big "NO". Ya, mostly i also dont want to feed him daily bakery items. But atleast once in a week, i can give hime snacks baked items r cookies.
