What is commonly used to help a child gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet, discuss w/DR: The healthiest way if your child is medically underweight is to offer a well-balanced but higher calorie diet. Consider supplementing with pediasure or adding carnation instant breakfast to whole milk. Pastas, rice, bread offer quick calories from carbs. Consider fruit smoothies with yogurt/milk added or melting butter/cheese on veggies. It's best to consult your doctor first for specific advice.
