How do low birth weight infants catch up with their peers?

Patient's question:

When my child was born, he was quite light in weight. After raising him for two months, I noticed that his weight had not increased at all. I want my child's weight to be the same as that of his peers. How can I achieve this?

Doctor's answer:

If the child is still breastfeeding, the mother needs to eat more eggs, milk, carrots, spinach, and other foods to increase the child's nutrition, while soups like pork soup and rib soup also require more water. If the baby is not breastfed, you can add half of the yolk to the formula in the first six months, and give the child one whole yolk after six months. If the child is breastfeeding, the mother can take the supplement and pass it to the child through breast milk, which can effectively enhance the child's intestinal absorption.
