In Ayurveda, to support healthy weight gain for your twin boys, it's essential to focus on nourishing, easily digestible foods that build strength and vitality. Since they were born premature, their digestion and metabolism may need extra support. Foods like ghee, milk, oats, rice porridge, and whole grains can be nourishing and help promote weight gain. Adding healthy fats like coconut oil, nuts, and seeds to their meals can also provide additional energy. It's important to maintain a balanced diet with proper nutrients, including fruits, vegetables, and proteins, to support growth. Ayurveda also recommends herbal tonics like Ashwagandha and Shatavari, which can help strengthen the body and boost vitality. Ensure they get enough rest and physical activity suitable for their age to support overall health. A regular routine with adequate sleep, healthy digestion, and stress-free environments can also contribute to their physical development. Always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice.

Hey, quite a common concern for a parent! Premature twins—you're doing great managing their needs so far. When it comes to increasing their weight, we need to look at it holistically. First off, we gotta understand their prakriti or constitution. These might be a blend of vata influences since they're light and slim. Let’s look into a few things.
Have you considered managing their agni, the digestive fire? Proper digestion is key. Small, frequent meals could help. Try including warm, nourishing foods in their diet like kichari—a mix of rice and lentils with some ghee. Ghee is wonderful for building ojas, or vital essence, and it can support healthy weight gain.
Also, focus on foods rich in prana—fresh fruits like bananas and dates can be your allies here. You might want to mash bananas with ghee as a snack, a favorite in Ayurveda for those who need to gain some healthy weight. And let's not forget nuts! Almonds soaked overnight can provide good fats and help balance vata dosha, which is usually dominant in slim kids.
Make sure they’re getting enough rest and sleep, too - sometimes overlooked but crucial for weight gain. It's like the body's way of healing, rebuilding, and storing energy.
Oh the wonders of Ashwagandha! If you're open to herbal remedies, Ashwagandha might be beneficial. But…consult with a qualified healthcare provider before introducing it, especially with children. Safety first!
Encourage them to engage in activities that build strength rather than tiring them out—think light yoga or playful exercises that are fun and natural. It’s a blend of everything, really: good food, proper rest, and activities that nurture rather than deplete.
Keep an eye on their progress and always feel free to consult a pediatrician to tailor this advice specifically for your twins' needs. You're on a path to nurturing them well. All the best on this journey!
