Question
A 3-month-old baby, after experiencing bronchitis and gastric mucosal hemorrhage, although the symptoms have improved, has obvious experienced significant weight loss and symptoms of calcium deficiency and anemia, with a pale, bloodless complexion. Despite the baby’s good mental state and normal diet, the parents are seeking assistance to understand how to deal with this situation.
Answer
Hello, this situation may be due to the baby’s poor absorption of nutrients. If breastfed, it is recommended to observe whether the breast milk supply is sufficient; if formula-fed, you can appropriately increase the amount of formula to see if it can promote weight gain. The rate of growth and development varies from child to child, and not all children will gain weight rapidly. It is suggested not to worry excessively, but if there are any concerns, you can consult with a professional.
