Two year old baby is getting thinner and thinner

  A newborn baby must have sufficient nutritional supplements. If the nutrition is not sufficient, it can easily lead to malnutrition in the body. Children are already fragile, and malnutrition can lead to diseases. Mothers also attach great importance to their children's diet, but there may also be problems with their children being underweight. So, what are the reasons why two-year-old babies are becoming increasingly thin?

  1. It may be due to the increasing activity level as the baby gradually grows up. It could also be that the baby has grown taller. As long as the baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite, it's fine. If you are not confident, you can do a trace element test for your baby.

  2. As the baby grows up, their activity level increases and they start to play and not eat properly. The main reason is that the baby's height is increasing rapidly, so they will lose weight suddenly.

  3. Digestive disorders, low food intake, and malnutrition are prone to this condition. It is important to strengthen nutrition regularly and if necessary, go to the hospital for examination to see if it is caused by a disease.

  What should I do if my baby is thin and small

  1. Observe if the baby is not fully fed while breastfeeding. Because babies are too young, some babies may not have the strength to breastfeed. To check if the baby is full, you can judge by the number of times they urinate and defecate. If the frequency is very low, it means that the baby is not full. You can use a breast pump to suck out the milk or directly brew formula and feed the baby with a bottle.

  2. Observe whether the baby's milk is nutritionally deficient. Many mothers have relatively thin milk, and their babies have to eat for a long time without gaining weight. At this time, it is appropriate to mix some milk powder with their babies for feeding.

  3. Observe whether the baby has poor sleep. During the first two months of birth, babies need to sleep for 18 hours to ensure their physical growth. It is necessary to observe whether the baby has sufficient sleep, as insufficient sleep can affect the baby's development. So it is important to encourage babies to sleep more in a quiet and comfortable environment.

  4. Observe whether the baby has poor gastrointestinal health. Some babies have poor gastrointestinal health, even if they eat a lot but do not absorb it, resulting in the body not being able to keep up with the required nutrients, so they may also be very thin and small. You can see a doctor for your baby to treat gastrointestinal problems.

  Being thin and small is not a good thing for children. If a child is not only thin and small, but also suffers from malnutrition, it will have a certain impact on their future growth and development. If a child's nutrition is not absorbed no matter how much they supplement it, it indicates that there are digestive problems in the child, which must be treated in a timely manner. Childhood thinness and weakness can easily lead to a decline in immunity, endangering overall health.
