Poor Weight Gain - Overview Most children steadily gain weight and grow quickly within the first few years of life. However, in some cases, kids do not grow as expected, which means they do not gain weight considered normal for their age. Often, these kids also have poor linear growth (height).

Many factors can cause poor weight gain, including certain illnesses, inadequate food intake, food intolerance and eating disorders. Eating disorders are today a great concern for kids aged 8-12 years. For example, in times where something as unhealthy as ‘size zero’ is trending, we often come across kids competing with each other and feeling proud about how much less they eat and still do not feel hungry the whole day. As parents, understand that this is a beginning of an eating disorder, which can interfere in your child’s healthy growth, and can also cause trouble at puberty, delayed sexual development, poor memory, anemia, weak bones, and can also cause difficulty in concentration.

It is therefore important to find the cause of poor weight gain in children and treat it before it leads to further complications. Our doctors find the root cause of poor weight gain in children and suggest natural homeopathic medicines that help them achieve normal weight.
