My son is 21 months old and weighs just 10 kgs. I took him to pediatrists he said his weight is just average.(During his birth he was 2 kgs). His legs looks to be thin ….. but he is very active……and even talks almost everything we teach him. I am just concerned about his weight. Please tell me what to feed him to increase his weight.(10 kgs means how much lbs?. pls tell)

22lbs. For a 21 month old that is sufficient. Its also okay if he only wants to eat tiny bits, toddlers can become very picky. 21 month old should be eating fruit, crackers, whole milk. Toddlers legs start to thin out compared to the chubby rolls baby legs tend to have. If his doctor believes he needs to increase his weight then you can talk to the dr. about products like ensure or offering healthy snacks throughout the day. If his weight is average in the 50% percentile then you have nothing to worry about.

Focus on healthy meals. High in protein and healthy fats.
Nuts(especially walnuts add to bread, crush on top of dessert, etc),
peanutbutter,
seeds,
avocado (blend with banana and milk to make smoothie,guacamole dips, spread on meat sandwiches)
flax seed oil or olive oil added to veggies (vegetables are an excellent source of several of the fat soluble vitamins)
cheese, cream cheese,
olives (my son likes the sliced for finger food),
hummus dips,
salmon (has omega-3 great source of healthy fat)
As for the pediasure, I DO NOT like it. Go online and check for youself but this the side effects of Pedisure...
High Blood Sugar Severe
Low Amount of Phosphate in the Blood Severe
Extreme Loss of Body Water Severe
High Amount of Potassium in the Blood Severe
Low Amount of Potassium in the Blood Severe
Irritation of the Stomach or Intestines Less Severe
Incomplete or Infrequent Bowel Movements Less Severe
Feel Like Throwing Up Less Severe
Throwing Up Less Severe
Diarrhea Less Severe
Infrequent side effects:
High Amount of Phosphate in the Blood Severe
There are a lot better ways to get the proper nutrients in children.

He's probably fine, but if you think weight is important, give him a little more cheese and whole milk.
