Mlo wa kuongeza uzito: Mtoto miezi 10

Mtoto wa miezi 10 huwa na uwezo mkubwa zaidi wa kutafuna, kumeza, na hata kujaribu kula mwenyewe. Katika hatua hii, uzito wake unatakiwa kuendana na kasi ya ukuaji wa mwili, ubongo na kinga. Mtoto mwenye uzito mdogo huhitaji lishe yenye virutubisho vya kutosha ili kurejesha hali yake ya kawaida ya kiafya. Habari njema ni kuwa unaweza kufanya haya nyumbani kwa kutumia vyakula vya kawaida kama wali, viazi, samaki, na matunda.

Ratiba hii ya mlo inalenga kuongeza uzito wa mtoto mwenye miezi 10 kwa kutumia mlo wa asili, rahisi, na unaopatikana katika familia nyingi.
