Difference between revisions of "Increase Weight in Children"

Despite the focus on the growing number of overweight children, there are also many kids whose health would benefit from putting on additional weight.  The solution is not as simple as letting underweight kids indulge in their junk food fantasies, though.  Instead, a mixture of changing eating behaviors, choosing nutritious high-calorie foods, and “sneaking” extra calories into meals is often the best approach to increasing weight in children.  Always consult a medical professional first, however, if you are concerned that your child may be underweight.
