Question
The newborn weighed 5300 grams at birth, but after two months, there has been no increase in weight, although the height has grown. No treatment has been administered previously, and I would like to know if a detailed examination is needed.
Answer
The baby’s height and weight are both within the normal range, so there is no need to worry excessively. The growth in height and weight does not always occur at a linear and consistent rate; it may be related to a lack of vitamins or trace elements, or it may be associated with not yet introducing complementary foods. The baby’s slight increase in weight may be due to poor digestive system function, leading to insufficient nutrient absorption. It is recommended to take oral medications for strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion to improve digestive function and enhance nutrient absorption. Medications such as Chicken Gizzards Powder, Invigorating Spleen Powder, and Probiotics are suggested for good results. Additionally, calcium supplements should be taken.
