Weight builds on dense, warm food: a banana mashed into milk mid-morning, a date-and-almond paste daily, ghee on every roti, and sooji halwa as the evening snack. A daily warm mustard-oil massage before the bath is the traditional weight-builder for thin children — it improves appetite and sleep together. Feed five small warm meals rather than three big ones. Rule out worms first — a wormy child cannot gain.
One ripe banana mashed into warm milk, mid-morning.
