Patient's question:
10 pounds, now 2.5 months old, 10 pounds 2 ounces. Is it growing too slowly? It has been about a week without gaining weight, only breastfeeding, and the milk is sufficient. However, recently, the baby doesn't sleep well during the day but sleeps very well at night. The baby doesn't sleep soundly during the day.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces at birth, 9 pounds at one month, 10 pounds at two months, and now 10 pounds 2 ounces at 2.5 months. Is it growing too slowly?
Doctor's answer:
The child's weight is slightly lower. If the child's diet is normal and deep sleep is normal, it is recommended to regulate the child's gastrointestinal system, take some medication to enhance digestion and absorption, and also have the child tested for trace elements to identify any deficiencies in calcium, zinc, and other trace elements, then promptly address the issue. Exposing the child to sunlight more often can also help with calcium absorption. The above suggestions are for the question "Why is a 2-month-old baby not gaining weight?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
