When a baby is born, there will be a weight record, and every period of time, weight and length will be measured, which are signs of physical growth and development. Every measurement of height and weight is also a way to check whether growth and development are within the normal range. Both overweight and underweight need to find the reason, which is also a confusion for many mothers: the reason why a 7-month-old baby is underweight.
1. Digestive system
Because many infants' digestive systems are prone to different types of abnormalities, frequent diarrhea or digestive problems can lead to nutrient absorption from ingested food, making it easy for them to lose weight. So, this requires finding the cause and gradually adjusting treatment to avoid further impact on growth.
2. Lack of vitamins
Because infants' bodies are undergoing rapid growth and development, the nutrients they consume may not fully meet their body's needs. This requires observing the growth status of various parts of the baby's body. When different phenomena occur, timely examination is necessary, and targeted supplementation of vitamin types is necessary to prevent malnutrition in the body.
A 7-month-old baby is underweight, and it is necessary to consult with a doctor based on the degree of thinness to determine whether a physical examination is necessary. Due to the weight and height of the baby, in addition to many comprehensive factors during feeding and development, genetic factors also play a significant role.
