Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Why is a 16-month-old baby growing so slowly?Doctor's answer:
Height is generally related to a lack of growth hormone or genetics. It is recommended to check the growth hormone and growth plates first. The main physiological function of growth hormone is to promote the growth of all tissues except for nervous tissue. Whether following the early, middle, and late three milk feedings, it is better to add appropriate complementary foods between two feedings for the baby. It is a bit much to start giving the baby three complementary feedings now.
