    Dear Anjalika,

    You don't have to be worried in regards to your daughter's weight and diet issues. The best way is to offer her the milk in sippy cup/ straw cup 2 times( one in the morning just after bed and another before bed time). She should be eating 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.

    Meal Ideas:
    Breakfast:( 8 - 8.30 am)
    1. Porridge
    2. Toast with omlette( 3- 4 eggs in a week)
    3. Pancake
    4. Cereal
    5. French toast

    Morning snack( around 11 am)
    1. Any fruits

    Lunch: (1-1.30pm)
    1. Rice/ roti (with atleast 2 veges/ meat/ fish)

    Evening Snack:(4-4.30pm)
    1. Cheese slices
    2. Crackers
    3. If you offer any kind of juice try to dilute it with water or try to wipe the teeth immediately after drinking as it may cause dental caries.
    4. Fish fingers.
    5. Scones
    6. Muffins

    Dinner: ( 7- 7.30pm)

    Family meal( whatever you eat)

    Regarding weigth gain issues:
    If she is growing gradually in her percentile chart you don't worry at all. She is very active and burning all her calories. Make sure she eats 5 a day( 5 types of fruit and vegies) and dairy products.
    Hope this helps. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

    Jay

    if you really want your girl to put on weight, introduce her to pediasure (milk) - it has got all kinds of flavors...or Canation Instant(Breakfast essentials) - comes in different flavors. These will make your daughter put on weight and gives the nutrients required for the day. It is hard to make sure that we give all the required nutrients in the little diet they eat.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best
    Shanti

    Re: 19 months old baby , sugegest a proper diet and sleep chart, looks thin but super

    Anjali, if the child is active, dont worry, she is more than likely fine. I didnt understand the measurements you have mentioned though (like egg size/ ball size). If you can tell me in terms of cups I might be able to suggest something.

    My baby was also low birth weight and still remains so. My pead advised me not to worry as long as she is not falling off the charts (growth/height charts checked during her doctors visits). What I normally do and what I normally advise other mom's here who are concerned about weight gain is that, dont concentrate on particular food item. Concentrate on particular food group.
    For example, apart from fruits, she seems to be getting the rest of the food groups in her diet, which is great. Everyday, we need to feed at least one or two servings of the below food groups:

    1. Protein (meat/dal etc)
    2. carbs (rice/potato/pasta etc)
    3. Veggies
    4. Fruits
    5. Dairy

    4 out of 5 is not bad at all. Perhaps you can try cutting fruits in small pieces and leave them on plate? she may playfully take bites? Or mix them in yogurt for a light snack after her nap?
    Also, from your schedule, it looks like you are cluster feeding. Like:

    10:30 Lunch
    11:30 juice
    12:00 egg/fish
    Milk between 12:30

    You need to give some gap before feeding her in short intervals. evening schedule looks OK.
    Normally, its easier on the body if she has any schedule like Breakfast, snack, lunch,snack,dinner,snack.

    Nope...not recommended at all.
    Chyawanprash has heavy metals...consult paed before giving it.
