When you are parents, your life runs around your kids and their growth is your utmost priority. Adya was born with good weight but slowly we noticed she was falling behind and I was really worried that this might affect her activity level.
Growth is an important indicator to know the status of health and nutrition. First 6 years are critical growth years for every child and we need to monitor their growth.
This will help in understanding if there is any nutrition or health problem. Accordingly, we can take corrective measures to improve their health and overall development.
When children are young there is a lot of worry around if their height and weight is appropriate as per their age and how fast should children grow in India. I too had this worry because did you know, 1 in 3 children don’t grow as per their age?
The most important thing is to take care of their growth and understanding everything behind these parameters of weight gain and height. This will help us in making a perfect nutrition plan for our kids and it will help in their growth.
I found this Grow Right tracker online by PediaSure and I have started measuring my child’s growth because that is the #FirstStepToGrowRight. Why is that?
Once you enter your child’s details you can get a report that is downloadable. It has been super helpful in finding out the nutritional gaps that may have been slowing her growth. That way this growth chart is really helpful in understanding their growth rate.
With the help of this report and doctor’s prescription, I have created a perfect nutrition plan for Adya, that I am sure will nurture her growth.
Nutrition plan
- Including one fruit daily in her diet.
- Proper home cooked meal two times a day including chapattis, vegetables curry salad.
- Milk with benefits of PediaSure, two times a day.
- Dry fruits for munching
- Paneer/curd
- Home-baked cookies/cake as sweet treat.
This is a simple nutrition diet plan I have been following for her and have seen change in her weight and height. She is not under-weight now and her activity level is really good.
The main takeaway of using the Grow Right Tracker has been the fact that she is now following a proper balanced diet which includes fruits, vegetables and proper meals containing essential vitamins and minerals to support growth. And last but not the least, drinking water as per their age.
Like most of the kids she is also a fussy eater especially when it comes to drinking milk. I am really happy now that with PediaSure she enjoys drinking her milk.
I have taken proper steps to monitor my child’s growth with the help of the Grow Right tracker, and give her proper nutrition for proper growth and development. Share with me what steps you think are essential to ensure that the children grow right.
