A member asked:

What foods are best for a malnourished child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Starvation: Malnourished children should be re-fed under the guidance of a pediatrician, pediatric gastroenterologist or nutritionist since rapid re-feeding can cause adverse results. Overall, a healthy diet excludes excessive sugars, processed foods, and many carbohydrates. An organic menu based in whole grains, vegetables and lean proteins is a good start for most balanced diets.
