Dear lybrate-user, it is not recommended to use anything such as weight gain powders for baby mere 3.5 years of age. But here are tips that can help her put on weight easily. Avoid any powder (chocolate powder) or any in milk. Do not consume biscuits as they contain no nutrients but hollow calories that temporarily suppress appetite and do not provide any nutritional value. Avoid packed food such as noodles. Add more full cream fat dairy products in diet such as ghee, curd. Feed her 3 large meals instead of snacking. Add bananas, black grapes, mosami/orange juice. Give tea instead of coffee. Spend more time sunlight. Do not stay indoors for too long. Avoid ro water, instead give water that has minerals in it. Follow these steps, you will definitely see desired results within a week. I wish your daughter all the best!
