What should I do if my baby doesn't gain weight or grow in height for several months?

Patient's question:

Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if my baby hasn't gained weight or height for several months?

Doctor's answer:

It is important to go to the hospital for a check-up if there are reasons for a child's slow development. Maintain a balanced diet, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, and keep emotions stable. Supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity and recover quickly. It is likely caused by indigestion. You can use Mamiaoi, Xiao Er Bao Wan, and Houzao San. After feeding, hold the baby upright, gently pat their back, and burp to help the baby expel gas.
