Patient's question:
The baby is two months and nine days old and is growing a bit slowly. When they had a health check-up at the hospital at 46 days, they weighed only 3.7 kg and were 52.6 cm tall. At birth, they weighed 2,845 g and were 50 cm tall. They don't sleep well at night and sometimes don't fall asleep until 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. They are currently exclusively breastfed. Is there any way to help them grow a bit faster?Doctor's answer:
The key is that the mother must enhance nutrition and ensure an adequate supply of breast milk, allowing the baby to digest cod liver oil, 400 units daily. As long as the baby sleeps peacefully during naps and has sufficient breast milk, the baby will grow faster. If the breast milk supply is not sufficient, it is important to provide formula milk promptly. This advice is for the question "My baby is 2 months and 9 days old and seems to be growing a bit slowly." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
