Why is the newborn so thin?

Patient's question:

Why is the baby my sister just gave birth to so thin? Could it be genetic?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it may be due to calcium deficiency leading to incomplete nutrient absorption, or it could be due to having worms in the stomach. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a trace element check, while also observing the condition inside the stomach.
There are many factors that can cause pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
