The height and weight of babies have always been a concern for parents. I am very worried when I find that my baby is lower or thinner than babies of the same age. What should parents do if their one and a half year old baby is underweight and wants to provide better conditioning through some methods?
1. Comprehensive examination: When a baby is found to be underweight, parents should pay attention to taking the baby for a comprehensive examination first, to clarify whether the baby's underweight is caused by gastrointestinal abnormalities or a lack of trace elements. No matter where there is a problem, doctors will provide more professional advice. If there are no issues with the examination, pay attention to increasing the baby's nutrition.
2. Improving diet: Babies tend to be thin, mostly due to improper dietary supplementation, so parents should pay attention to feeding their babies more nutritious foods. It is important to note that only one type of food is nutritious for babies, which can lead to a preference for nutritional supplements. It is necessary to mix meat and vegetables, and also be careful not to overeat. This way, the baby's intake of nutrients will be more reasonable and beneficial for the healthy development of the body.
3. Strengthen exercise: As babies are still young, their activity levels may be relatively low. Parents should pay attention to taking their babies for more outdoor activities, such as walking or playing ball games. After an increase in a baby's physical activity, their appetite will also increase, making them love to eat and improving their physical development.
