Patient's question:
Born in October 2013, diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in a hospital due to hypoxia, now 8 months old and unable to roll over or hold their head up. Born weighing 7 pounds, now at 8 pounds at almost 9 months old. In June of this year, they went to Beijing Children's Hospital for a check-up, but no reason for the lack of weight gain was found.Doctor's answer:
It is common for newborns not to gain weight after the first month, but frequent crying in infants is often a sign of discomfort. If your baby is eating, urinating, and sleeping normally each day, it indicates that your baby is healthy, and you don't need to worry. Around the one-month mark, you should be concerned about whether jaundice has disappeared. High levels of jaundice can cause crying, and stomach discomfort in babies can also lead to frequent crying. These situations require careful attention and differentiation.
