I see that the children at home are very thin, without any meat on their bodies, unlike other children who are chubby. Parents are concerned that their children may be too thin, which could affect their growth and development. In the future, their children may develop poorly, become particularly short, or have not fully matured in all aspects of their bodies. They want to help their children improve their thin and frail condition. What should I do if my child is thin and not gaining weight?
When a child is very thin and not gaining weight, parents can take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination to check if there are any diseases on the child's body, so that they can continue to lose weight and not gain weight. Pay attention to whether children have digestive problems or poor absorption. If weight loss is caused by gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, parents need to pay attention to their dietary habits and nutrition.
Some children do not have any illnesses, and their lack of weight growth is related to their diet and nutrition. Children like to eat snacks, carbonated drinks, and junk food in their daily lives, and they eat very little during meals. Their three meals a day are abnormal, and over time their bodies cannot absorb enough nutrients, so they naturally cannot gain weight and their bodies remain thin.
Parents should pay attention to the issue of balanced nutrition in their children's diet. The food they prepare for their children every day includes meat, eggs, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, fish, etc., ensuring a balanced diet for three meals a day. In addition, monitor the amount of snacks children eat every day, especially before meals, to ensure that they have a good appetite, and encourage them to eat more and exercise more.
