Desired Help:
At birth, he was 47 cm tall and 5 pounds. Now, at two and a half months, he is 55 cm tall and 9.5 pounds. His height and weight are not fully meeting the standards. What should be done for the baby in this situation? Very anxious.
Doctor's answer:
Commonly, it reoccurs approximately every four to six months, and some babies may even experience it around three months. First and foremost, it's important to understand what causes the child to dislike drinking milk. There are many reasons for this recurrence, with the main ones being:1. Curiosity: Filled with curiosity about everything around them, they are easily distracted and unable to focus on drinking milk.
2. Getting bored with the old: They no longer just dislike "milk" and want to try other foods.
3. Unpleasant environment or atmosphere: Wearing too many clothes, feeling stuffy at home, or experiencing scolding can make the baby feel uncomfortable.
4. Slowing growth rate: Their nutritional and caloric needs are not as high as when they were newborns.
