A member asked:

What are some foods or ways to help a 12 month old gain weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why?: Does the child's doctor feel the weight is too low? And, how has the child's growth been tracking? Other than a normal diet, i would not try to get your child to gain weight, unless suggested by the doctor.
