If a baby develops slower than their peers after birth, it is considered an abnormal phenomenon. As parents, we must take it seriously and identify the cause of the disease in order to take targeted treatment measures. Otherwise, it will have an impact on work and life. So, what are the reasons for delayed growth and development in infants?
1. There are many factors that can cause delayed infant development, some of which are due to the environment in which they grew up, and a large part of which comes from genetic factors in the family. If both parents' physical conditions are not very good, a large part will be inherited from the baby, and the baby will experience this situation.
2. The reason why babies can grow rapidly is controlled by a substance in the body, also known as growth hormone. When this substance is lacking or reduced in quantity, the baby's body will become very short, and the development of bones and various organs is not very complete. At this time, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for comprehensive examination and find treatment methods.
3. For babies, they need to be fed about 10 times a day because their stomach is not yet fully developed and is in a very flat structure. Within a few hours, some substances inside may be quickly absorbed and emptied. At this time, the amount of feeding should be appropriately increased. Some young mothers may not have sufficient fat and other substances in their breast milk due to weight loss or illness, which can cause them to develop slowly.
