Patient's question:
Born male baby, 4 pounds 8 ounces, stayed in the hospital for 20 days without weight gain, reviewed after 1 month and 7 days, weight was 5 pounds 4 ounces, the doctor said developmental delay. Born on May 10th of the Gregorian calendar, at 8 months of pregnancy, gave birth to a male baby weighing 4 pounds 8 ounces. Is this a premature baby with developmental delay? How to determine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, you need to add formula milk to the baby's breastfeeding. Then give the baby 800 units of cod liver oil daily. The mom should take calcium supplements and drink some nutrient-rich chicken soup, fish soup, pork rib soup, and pig trotter soup to provide the baby with more touch and passive exercise. The above is advice on how to judge if a premature baby is developmentally delayed. Hope it helps you, and wish your baby good health!
