Patient's question:
The baby is now 5 months and 10 days old. They were mixed-fed 3 months ago. After 3 months, they stopped drinking milk. At 4 months, they started adding fruit puree, vegetable juice, and rice porridge. They continued this diet for a month, but during a check-up, they only gained 2 ounces, and they were constipated for the entire month.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you first go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to assess your child's current physical condition and developmental level. Follow the advice given by the hospital. At home, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid pickiness and food preferences, engage in appropriate outdoor activities, get more sun exposure, and consume a moderate amount of colostrum, which can enhance immunity.
