What is the reason for a 16-month-old baby not gaining weight?

Patient's question:

A 16-month-old baby hasn't gained much weight or grown in height since she was 13 months old, and she hasn't even grown any teeth—only five teeth. What could be the reason? Is this normal???? She has been taking calcium and zinc supplements, and recently, she has also been given digestive aid tablets and probiotics. She has a slight cold, and is this related?

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described above, for the situation you mentioned. Generally speaking, for the situation you mentioned. It is recommended that the hospital conduct a thorough check of trace elements to see which trace elements are lacking. The child's teeth only fully erupted between the ages of two and two and a half, and not much growth in these three months is normal, as the child has passed the peak of growth. The above is the advice for the question "A 16-month-old baby hasn't gained much weight since she was 13 months old." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
