Q: My 2 years old son weighs 10.3 kg and is 80 cm tall. His weight at birth was 2.3 kg. He looks too lean. Is he growing fine and what special items should I add to his diet?

A:His weight for 2 years is OK and height is fine. He should be consuming normal home made food and not much of milk. A cup of milk in the morning and one in the evening is enough. I don't think he needs any special supplements, if he is active and developmentally normal, don't worry.
