How to deal with slow weight gain in babies?

Patient's question:

The baby is 80 days old. At birth, it weighed 7.1 jin, and now it weighs 11.2 jin. In 11 weeks and 3 days, it has only gained 4 jin.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: The baby is slightly calcium-deficient and has some digestive issues.
What kind of help is needed: What could be the cause of this, and how can the baby be made to grow faster?

Doctor's answer:

The slow weight gain of the baby is directly related to poor digestion. It is recommended that mothers pay attention to feeding, give the baby more water, and try to eat small meals frequently. If the baby's bowel movements are not good, it is best to give the baby some digestive aids, such as Pan Deyang, which can help regulate the gastrointestinal function. When the baby's digestion and absorption improve, they will naturally gain weight.
Advice: Additionally, is the baby being fussy due to calcium deficiency? It is recommended that mothers have the baby tested for trace elements. If there is a deficiency, it should be addressed promptly, and regular follow-up tests should be conducted.
