Mixed feeding. Hasn't eaten formula for nearly half a month. Skin appears yellow. Has had green stools during this period.

Help Desired: want to know the cause, is it normal?
Doctor's answer:
The average weight of a newborn baby is around 6 to 7 jin. In the first half of their life, infants experience rapid weight gain, especially during the first two months when their weight increases more rapidly daily. The first year after birth is the fastest period for a child's weight gain, during which the rate of weight increase gradually slows as the child grows older. After the age of one, the child's physical development slows down, but within the age range of 1 to 2 years, the baby's weight will still continue to grow slowly, with an average increase of about 1.5 jin per year. However, a child's weight gain varies from person to person and may not follow the rates mentioned above. If there is a significant deviation, it is important to investigate the cause. Both rapid and slow weight gain in children should be taken seriously. Slow weight gain in infants could be due to insufficient nutrition intake, poor digestion and absorption, or chronic diseases. For infants under one year old, milk should be the primary source of nutrition, ensuring an adequate milk intake. When a baby starts complementary foods at around 6 months, it is still best to ensure they drink some milk daily.
