Patient's question:
Child is 52 days old. I feel the child hasn't gained a pound compared to a month ago. Today, the poop is a bit green and the amount is also less. What could be the reason? Is the green poop due to indigestion, but the child hasn't gained a pound? The nose also feels a bit stuffy, with bubbles coming out at night or in the morning. This is a mixed feeding situation. What should I do about this?Doctor's answer:
The baby may need to be weighed on an infant scale a few times. Three months ago, babies generally gained two to three pounds per month. If the baby's weight hasn't increased, it's necessary to find the cause—is the feeding method incorrect? Generally, the baby should be fed every two hours, and it should not be skipped because the child is taking a nap. Additionally, it's important to rule out any possible wasting diseases. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
