Doctor's answer:

Considering the child's poor feeding may be related. Generally, a child's weight at three months is twice as much as at birth, which is about 15 pounds. If the child's weight gain is poor, it may be related to insufficient feeding. It is recommended to increase the child's milk intake, which must be sufficient. If breastfeeding is insufficient, iron-fortified formula can be used. Additionally, complementary foods can be provided starting at 4-5 months. You can eat iron-rich (rice flour), egg yolk, fruit puree, and vegetable puree.
