What should a child who is thin and small eat more?

Patient's question:

The baby is 3 years old this year, but compared to children of the same age, he seems very thin. I don't know if it's because our nutritional meals are not right. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, what should the child eat if he is thin?

Doctor's answer:

Your child is already 3 years old but still smaller and thinner than their peers. This needs to be checked for microelements, as it might be a zinc deficiency, which can make the child eat less and not grow properly. Additionally, eat more vegetables and meat, avoid picky eating, maintain a balanced diet, and engage in more physical exercise! Adjust the diet a bit, add more variety to stimulate the baby's appetite; also, add some milk, soy products, and other things to ensure the supply of various microelements in the body.
