Baby eats very little, weight does not increase, what to do?

Patient's question:

My baby is 4 months old. In a month, they can eat up to 120ml, which is normal, but they have been eating less and less since then. Now, sometimes they eat 120ml, and other times they eat only 70ml. Their weight gain is very slow. They weighed 6.6 pounds at birth, but now at 4 months, they only weigh 10 pounds. I'm very worried.

Doctor's answer:

For a child in this condition, there should be some relatively poor gastrointestinal absorption capacity. However, in this situation, we can complement the treatment by giving the child oral Lactobacillus casei, along with oral Bupleurum chinense powder to regulate and treat. This can help improve and restore the condition.
