Thank you for offering your experience and expertise to our nutritional questions!
I have an active 19 month-old toddler, who is only 21 pounds (less than 5th percentile on the charts). Granted, he was born 2 months early, and the doctors say it will be another year for him to "catch up". No one is really too concerned.
To help my son gain weight, we've been feeding him higher-calorie foods (whole milk, avocados, cheese, eggs) along with his veggies, fruits and whole grains. What foods are considered "healthier" and still have higher calories? I assume feeding him higher-calorie foods will help his weight gain; are there other methods to help with healthy weight gain (instead of milkshakes and high fat foods). Thanks!
