As a mother working in a job with frequent transfers all across the country, I learnt about many best foods for weight gain in babies, toddlers and kids. We talked about some of them in my last article. I also learnt about interesting recipes and ways in which the natives of one region of the country made best foods for weight gain in babies, toddlers and kids. In this article, for the benefit of some of the first time parents who are not so confident in cooking, I would also be sharing some of the easy, quick to make but high protein/calorie Easy recipes for healthy weight gain in babies, toddlers and kids. The main ingredients used in them are all easily available in the Indian local markets. Try all the recipes one by one and include them in your own weekly meal plan for your young ones.
