Patient's question:
The baby was hospitalized last month due to illness. After discharge, the baby gained one and a half pounds in ten days, eating 100 milliliters of formula every three hours. Ten days after discharge, the baby gained another two and a half pounds, but was only eating less than 100 milliliters of formula every three hours. Is the baby gaining so little weight because it's not eating enough?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, according to your description, as the baby grows older, the weight gain will slow down. However, the baby's current temperature increase is small, which is considered to be due to the reason that the baby is fed less. It is recommended to focus on increasing the milk feeding. The above is the advice on the question "The baby was hospitalized last month and gained one and a half pounds in ten days after discharge." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
