After the birth of a baby, parents attach great importance to their child's development, so many parents often measure their baby's height and weight. Some parents have found that their children have a weight below the standard, so they are worried that it is caused by developmental delay. So, what should I do if my baby's weight doesn't meet the standard at four months?
When a four month old baby experiences a situation where their weight does not meet the standard, it is necessary to find the cause. If a child vomits more severely after breastfeeding, it will affect the intake of nutrients, and over time, it may lead to weight not meeting the standard. At this point, it is necessary to solve the problem of spitting milk. After going to the hospital for examination, if the child's spitting milk is not an organic disease, burping can be used to prevent the child from spitting milk.
If a baby's weight does not meet the standard, it may also be due to delayed development. Parents should take this seriously, promptly identify the cause, and provide targeted solutions. As long as the negative factors can be eliminated, the child's weight can gradually return to normal levels.
If a child's gastrointestinal condition is poor, after eating milk, it will affect the absorption of nutrients, which can easily lead to malnutrition and result in below standard weight. So parents should take their children to a regular hospital for a gastrointestinal examination to confirm whether the baby has gastrointestinal diseases.
