Patient's question:
Sometimes I hate shaking my head, only defecating once a day, but it's especially large. The color is normal. I smoked when I was pregnant. What kind of assistance do I need: I just want to figure out how my baby is normal?...Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on what you've mentioned, it's hard to say if a baby growing only half a pound in a month is normal. First, we need to know how old the baby is now, as the growth process varies at different stages, and the speed of growth can differ as well. For example, the first three months after birth are often the fastest period of growth, followed by a slower rate in the next nine months. However, every baby grows differently. If the baby shows no other abnormalities and is in good spirits, then slower growth may not be a significant issue. It might be considered that the baby's metabolic function is not optimal, and providing the baby with sufficient high-nutrient substances could help stabilize the situation.
