Generally, parents will pay extra attention to their baby's weight gain. The weight gain of a baby is also one of the reference criteria for judging whether the baby is developing normally to some extent. According to standards for comparison, if a baby's weight does not increase or grow significantly during a certain period of time, parents will worry about whether the baby is developing normally. So what are the reasons for babies not growing in weight?
The reasons why babies do not gain weight can be roughly divided into two categories. On the one hand, it is physiological weight loss. After about ten days of birth, babies are usually in a period of physiological weight loss, gradually returning to their birth weight; On the other hand, there is pathological weight loss. If the baby's weight loss is caused by pathological reasons, timely treatment is needed.
The reason for a baby's physiological weight loss is that the baby cannot adapt to a dry environment for a short period of time after birth, resulting in excessive loss of water in the body. This is a normal process that babies need to go through, so there is generally no need to worry too much. If the baby is fed in an unreasonable way, the problem lies in the quality of the milk being fed, the baby's own problems, and a series of other conditions, it belongs to pathological weight loss.
In addition to parents needing to pay attention to their baby's feeding habits, it is recommended to take the baby outdoors as much as possible during the day and expose them to more sunlight to enhance their body's resistance to diseases and avoid or reduce the likelihood of the baby getting sick. Try to train your baby in a prone position as much as possible, which not only exercises the strength of their waist, neck, and limbs, but also increases their desire for food.
