Weight is an important indicator of a baby's good health. If the baby's weight can grow regularly, it means that the baby's body is growing healthily. If the weight does not increase or the growth rate slows down, it should be taken seriously. Regarding the issue of baby weight, a parent recently asked, what's the reason for a six month old baby not gaining weight in half a month?
It is still within the normal range for a 6-month-old baby to not gain weight at half a month. The reason for saying this is that from five to six months old, the weight gain of the baby is not as obvious as before, and the growth rate will start to slow down. However, as long as the baby's appetite is normal and their sleep, rest, and mental state are good, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to feed them normally and wait for a period of time to see if the baby's weight has increased.
If parents are still worried, they can take their babies to a regular children's hospital for examination to rule out whether the lack of weight gain is caused by illness. Sometimes, the baby's digestive function is insufficient, or after the baby falls ill, or due to insufficient feeding, it may cause the baby to lose weight. Therefore, parents may observe the baby to see if the above reasons are causing weight loss.
In addition to breast milk, six month old infants should add some complementary foods, such as Rice noodles paste, egg yolk paste, vegetable paste, fruit juice, etc., which can be added to a small number of meals. Daily parents can also give infants abdominal massage, which is conducive to promoting digestion and absorption of gastrointestinal tract and healthy growth of infants.
