How to treat a baby who only grows in height but not in weight

Patient's question:

When the baby was born, it weighed 5300 grams. Now that it's two months old, it's still at the original weight, but its height has increased while its weight hasn't. What could be the reason?
Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
What kind of examination is needed?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's length and weight are both normal, so there is no need to worry. The growth of length and weight will never be linear or uniform, and it may be related to a lack of vitamins and trace elements. It should be related to the lack of complementary foods. The condition of your child is due to poor intestinal function, leading to insufficient digestion of nutrients, which has resulted in minimal weight gain.
Your child's condition requires treatment with oral digestive aids. This can help stabilize the child's digestive function, improve nutrient absorption, and promote weight gain. I recommend taking Ji Nei Jin San (Chicken Essence Powder), Jian Pi San (Spleen Strengthening Powder), and probiotics for treatment, which will be very effective. After that, you can supplement with calcium, and that should be sufficient.
