Question
My baby hasn’t rolled over or sat up for two days now, weighs 15 pounds, and is 63 centimeters tall. The baby only eats breast milk and nothing else, but the breast milk is not enough anymore. What should I do? The baby has a history of pneumonia and high fever. What kind of assistance do I need now?
Answer
I’m glad to help you with this. The child is already six months old but hasn’t rolled over or sat up yet, which could be a sign of delayed brain development. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination and treatment. Additionally, a baby of five months can already start introducing complementary foods. You can try feeding the baby rice porridge, egg yolks, millet congee, rice powder, etc., to enhance nutrition. Initially, start with small amounts of food and gradually increase to what the child can adapt to. At the same time, it is also important to supplement calcium, iron, zinc, and other trace elements in a timely manner to avoid affecting the child’s growth and development.
