Is it normal for a newborn to stay in the hospital for a month without gaining weight?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Is it normal for a newborn to not gain weight after staying in the hospital for a month?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, it's generally not a big problem. How is the baby's feeding and spirits? If there are no issues, it's likely not a major concern. It's still recommended to feed the child carefully and not worry too much, as the problem is not significant. I hope my answer can help you. You can consider dietary supplements. It's not good for babies to take too many calcium pills if they are too young, as many foods are rich in calcium, such as eggs, tomatoes, various bean products, and various types of fish. Give the baby more shrimp and fruits, as they are all very nutritious.
