Patient's question:
The baby doesn't like to eat milk. The supplementary food is also eaten very little, and the weight gain is slow. At six months, the baby weighs more than 13 pounds. At birth, the baby weighed 5 pounds and 2 ounces. By four months, the weight was almost the same. It's still the same after two more months. How can this be improved?Doctor's answer:
The child is experiencing this situation due to insufficient nutritional intake. It is often caused by the child not eating enough or eating improperly.Suggestions:
1. Give the child digestive aids such as Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactase, and Pepsin Oral Liquid. Probiotics and other probiotic preparations can also be tried.
2. Supplement zinc appropriately for the child. This can improve their digestive function.
3. Prioritize milk as the main food and avoid excessive starchy complementary foods.
