Patient's question:
At 8 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 eight-month-old child can try to crawl, sit up, stand, or jump. Your child's condition may be due to developmental delay. It is recommended that the child be taken to a pediatric department for growth assessment to clarify the specific diagnosis and then receive appropriate treatment. Also, pay attention to timely supplementation of calcium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements for the child, which can also help with growth and development.
