Hi there...

Thanks for writing in..

I do understand your concern.

If your daughter is healthy and active do not worry. As long as she is age appropriate for height and weight , it is normal. Don't worry what people say. What do you think? Is she fit and healthy, active, running,playing games with friends etc.

However, she is not taking too much of ahealthy diet. Just rice , milk and bread is not enough.

Have you tried giving her Pediasure?

If you fuss too much about food, it will only make her to hate food even more. Instead try motivating her to eat, introduce one new food group at a time.

When you make chappattis... mix the dough in spinach blended with water, then cook it. Egg as a pudding form . Try innovative ideas to make food more interesting and appealing.....

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
