Patient's question:
At eight months, the baby cannot sit or crawl and always lies on the bed looking up. The stool is not well-formed, and besides breast milk, the baby doesn't like anything else. The breast milk supply is also low. The baby weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces at birth but now only weighs 16.4 pounds. Is the baby not developing normally?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal child at eight months can try to crawl, sit up, stand, or jump. Your child's condition may be due to developmental delay. It is recommended that the patient take the child to the pediatric department for growth assessment to clarify the specific diagnosis and then receive corresponding treatment. It is also important to pay attention to timely supplementation of calcium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements for the child, which can also help with their growth and development.
