Baby health problems and how to provide complementary foods

Patient's question:

My baby is now 8 months old and weighs only 17 jin with a height of 72 cm. He drinks 180 ML of milk and doesn't eat much. He also doesn't seem to enjoy eating much. Is his weight too low!
Past treatment history and effectiveness: He had subarachnoid hemorrhage at birth and neonatal hypoglycemia, with a patent foramen ovale.
What kind of help do you want: What should be noted?

Doctor's answer:

This friend, your baby's growth and development are quite good, not significantly low. Your baby's current weight and height are within the normal range. However, based on your information, your baby had subarachnoid hemorrhage at birth. I don't know if there was a follow-up check-up after the full moon. In this case, a follow-up head CT or MRI is necessary. Neonatal hypoglycemia should have been corrected quickly, and it is likely that it no longer exists now. The foramen ovale may also close when the child turns one year old, and a follow-up MRI of the heart may also show that it has closed.
