Patient's question:
When my child was born, they weighed 5 pounds. Now that they are four months old, they only weigh 10 pounds. Is this normal? No treatment has been administered. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the abnormal weight of a child at three months, it is twice the weight at birth. Given the child's poor growth and development, there is a high possibility of improper feeding and insufficient nutrition. It is recommended to ensure the child is well-fed and to enhance feeding and care. Careful observation is necessary. Additionally, the child must digest vitamin D and calcium supplements. Consider giving pediatric AD and taking some calcium carbonate together. The above suggestions are in response to the question, "My child weighed 5 pounds at birth and now weighs only 10 pounds at four months—is this normal?" It is hoped that this advice will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
