my daughter is a little underweight before even if I gave her 8-10bottles of 6oz per day. Its not enough for her to gain weight and the pediatrician said she has to gain weight or else there are milestones that will be delayed. SO what my mom and I did we had this special rice grinned and I cooked it like a soup then I en corporate it with her milk then she gained weight. I am so happy. She hardly eat rice. She just spit it or play with it. She doesn't want cerelac as well. She doesn't like fruits she just want mandarins and oranges. At her age she really start to be picky eater. I am not forcing her to eat I don't want her to get traumatized with food. SHe likes ice cream, sherbets and fruits shakes a lot. anything to do with cold beverages. geez. What about you? what are your ways to help your child gain weight?

Same with my son. He loves ice cream. So I let his cerelac cold like ice cream and he loves it. I let him take some vitamins as well.

I think it is good to add cereals and other things to diet.

My 2 year son don't want to eat solid foods, but he can drink lots of milk, I think he can drink 7 bottles of milk a day of 8 oz. But he is chubby, he weighs 16 kilograms, and his vitamins is Nutrilin drops and his milk is gain plus three.

I think you should try to make her eat rice and also try to eat good food that contains nutrition. I think eating good food will increase her weight.

Maybe you could put something in the milk. Like a nutrition shake. My mom would buy me chocolate powder to get me to drink milk more.
