Question
Why did the baby’s weight decrease during the physical examination compared to last month?
Answer
It is important to pay attention to dietary adjustments. The following suggestions may be helpful for the baby’s diet:
- Let the baby gradually adapt to different foods. Start by offering the baby a variety of flavors such as vegetable soup, juice, etc., to pique their interest. You can dilute adult soup 2-3 times and cool it to near body temperature. You can feed the baby juice before breastfeeding, either by diluting it with water or by adding Milk Powder (infant formula) to it.
- Gradually increase the quantity and variety of the baby’s complementary foods. When introducing new complementary foods, it should be done gradually, starting with small amounts. Do not be too hasty, as introducing new foods too quickly may lead to failure. For a 4-month-old baby, you can start introducing egg yolks, starting with 1/4 of an egg yolk initially. After one week, observe the baby’s appetite and digestion; if everything is normal, you can increase it to half an egg yolk and gradually increase to a whole egg yolk. These suggestions are for reference only. Please adjust the baby’s diet according to actual circumstances and consult a professional doctor if necessary.
