Patient's question:
The baby is five and a half months old, but there is no significant growth in weight or height. The breast milk looks quite clear and is not very abundant. The mother is overweight, while the baby is thin. Is it possible that all the nutrients are being absorbed by the mother? However, the baby refuses to drink formula milk. Will this affect his future growth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, an average monthly weight gain of more than 0.7kg in the first half of life after birth is normal. Your child's weight gain is usually related to insufficient milk intake. Pay attention to strengthening feeding. Whether it's cerebral palsy, you should have a comprehensive physical examination at the doctor's office after 42 days of birth to check for any abnormal conditions, such as high or low muscle tone. This is mainly due to nutritional deficiencies. You can give your child foods like egg yolk paste, pork liver paste, etc. There are also dark green vegetables.
