Patient's question:
Drink about 800ml of Baibei Mei Ai+ series milk, and also eat an egg yolk, a bag of rice powder, a small bowl of rice, or a small bowl of noodles. However, the child's growth and development have been slow, and in the past month, they haven't gained much weight and even seem to have lost a bit. The baby is in good spirits every day. I don't know what the reason is. If there is a lack of calcium, can they take one Golden Cow Fish Liver Oil daily? Do they still need to take other calcium supplements? Please save this message for the doctor, thank you!The kind of assistance needed: I hope the doctor can help me guess the reason for the slow physical development and explain how to supplement calcium? How can they only take fish liver oil without needing other calcium supplements?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the complementary foods you have provided for your baby, they are relatively appropriate. Your baby is now nine months old, and in the past month, there hasn't been much weight gain. Instead, it seems like your baby has become a bit thinner, but your baby is still in good spirits. This is a normal phenomenon during your baby's growth and development. Generally, the fastest growth rate in your baby's development occurs in the first six months after birth. Moreover, babies under six months old will grow quite if well-nourished, again exhibiting the so-called "milk" phenomenon. However, in the year following birth, your baby's growth and development speed will slow down relatively, and the "milk" phenomenon will disappear during this period. You will feel that your baby has become a bit thinner.
