Does the baby's surgery for pyloric stenosis affect development?

Patient's question:

Will the baby's surgery for pyloric stenosis affect development? As a parent, I'm very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby undergoes surgery, it will also affect the baby's growth and development, and recovery needs to be done gradually. Severe cases may lead to the baby lagging in growth and development. At this time, the main approach is to feed the baby slowly or let it get more sunlight. Encourage the baby to crawl more to exercise the strength of its back and neck, while also getting more sunlight for the baby and supplementing with fish oil on time, with 400 units daily. However, it is important to adopt a gradual approach and not be too impatient.
