What should be ideal kids weight for baby girl of 7 years? When it is considered underweight and for treatment? My child is 20 kg any supplements required?

Question

Hello lybrate-user, According to WHO, weight of an Indian baby girl of 7 years should be around 22 kg -24 kg. If your girl looks thin, give more nutrient dense foods. If she is active, even if she is thin, you need not worry. No treatment is required for underweight children. It is important to give healthy foods like milk, ghee, nuts, eggs etc. For growth of your baby wit more physical activity. It is better to avoid commercial foods like pediasure, horlicks etc. And provide natural foods. Hope this helps. Wishing you and your baby a good health.

Hello, She should be ideally weighing 20-24 kgs, but it depends on the height, bone weight etc. You cannot go by the numbers completely. Check her immunity, activity levels, her concentration etc. They are better parameters to judge. Feed her healthy homecooked meals.
