[quote=Anonymous]When my kid dropped below the 2nd percentile for BMI was when the doctors became more concerned. Advice was to add more calories to what they already eat rather than trying to add volume. We buy only full fat dairy products, cook all veggies in oil or pour melted butter over them, mix cheese into just about everything, use heavy cream for any recipe calling for milk, ice cream and other desserts are always in the freezer. We also added a fourth meal in the evening before bed. It's a time when they were usually hungry, probably because the meds had worn off, so we added a small meal then to get more healthy foods in before they can eat whatever they want.[/quote]
