What should I do if the baby hasn't turned over or sat up after two days?

Patient's question:

Fifteen jin, six centimeters tall, still never jumping, never sitting, only eating breast milk, but what if my breast milk runs out? What was the previous treatment and effectiveness: pneumonia, high fever, what kind of assistance is needed: is it a problem or malnutrition?

Doctor's answer:

I'm very happy to help you clarify your doubts. A six-month-old child will never leap or sit up, and there is absolutely no possibility of needing caution due to delayed brain development. I recommend taking your child to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment. Generally, a child around five months old can start receiving complementary foods. You can try offering foods such as rice soup, scrambled egg yolk, millet porridge, and rice powder to enhance nutrition. At the beginning, start with very small amounts and gradually increase them once the child has recovered. Timely supplementation of calcium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements for the child can prevent interference with their growth and development.
