What to do if a three month old baby loses weight1

  1、 Increase feeding volume

  If the baby's weight continues to decrease without illness or other symptoms, it is likely due to insufficient feeding. If the mother does not have enough milk, she can eat more lactation promoting foods or choose good formula to supplement nutrition.

  2、 Improper feeding method

  If the mother's feeding posture and method are incorrect, it can also cause the baby to feed less. In this case, the mother needs to change the feeding method and increase the frequency of feeding.

  3、 Ensure adequate sleep

  Babies who do not like to sleep cannot achieve the normal sleeping time for infants, and such babies will also tend to be thinner.

  4、 Preventing diseases

  When a baby's weight drops, the mother needs to observe whether the baby is sick. If the baby is sick, they will lose appetite and lose weight quickly.

  5、 Infants have weak absorption capacity

  Babies eat a lot, but if they cannot absorb it properly, their weight cannot increase and may even decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to check the baby's gastrointestinal absorption and digestion ability, as well as whether the baby is underdeveloped.
