Patient's question:
The baby doesn't like to eat milk, and also eats very little supplementary food, with slow weight gain. At six months, the baby weighs more than 13 pounds, having been born at 5 pounds 2 ounces. By four months, the weight was almost the same, and it remained unchanged even after two more months. How can this be improved?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: The child's current condition is caused by insufficient nutritional intake, which is often due to the child not eating enough or eating improperly.Suggestions:
1. Give the child digestive aids such as Lactobacillus sporogenes, Lactobacillus casei, and pepsin oral solution. Probiotics can also be tried.
2. Supplement zinc appropriately to improve the child's digestive function.
3. Prioritize milk as the main food and avoid excessive starchy complementary foods.
