Why did a 3-month-old baby lose weight compared to the previous 2 months?

Patient's question:

At 3 months old, the baby developed bronchitis accompanied by gastric mucosal bleeding. After 8 days of hospitalization, the two symptoms gradually improved, but the baby had than before hospitalization, along with calcium deficiency and anemia. The baby's complexion was bluish and lacked color, but the baby was in good spirits and had a normal diet. Who can help me figure out what to do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation may be due to the child not absorbing nutrients well. If the child is breastfed, it's important to observe whether the breast milk supply is sufficient. If the child is formula-fed, you can add some extra formula appropriately to see if it helps achieve this weight gain.
I suggest you don't worry too much, as the rate of a child's growth and development can vary from person to person. Not all children will be little "fat" kids.
