  After being born, Baobao grew rapidly almost every day, and the parents also felt very happy.

So, what if the baby's weight gain is slow?

  

What to do if the baby's weight gain is slow1

  1. Check for digestive problems in the baby. If the baby has poor digestion, it is easy for nutrients to not be absorbed well, which can affect the baby's growth, slow weight gain, and even result in no growth. At this time, it is best to give the baby a small amount of food multiple times, allowing the baby to move appropriately, accelerating gastrointestinal peristalsis, improving poor digestion, and gradually increasing weight.

  2. Check if the baby has any other illnesses. When babies are young, they are prone to various diseases. Once sick, it affects the normal function of the baby and also affects internal organs such as the stomach and intestines, making it difficult for them to gain weight. Parents should take their baby to the hospital for examination and targeted treatment after diagnosis of the disease. Only when the baby is healthy can their weight increase normally.

  3. The baby has entered a period of slow growth. After one year old, the growth rate of babies is likely to be much slower at birth, so parents don't need to worry too much. At this time, it is important to pay attention to the baby's health status. If they can eat and sleep without any abnormalities, there is no need to worry, as it is considered normal.
