Question
The baby was hospitalized last month and gained one jin and one liang (about 1.5 kg) after 10 days of discharge. The baby eats formula every three hours, 100 milliliters each time. Ten days after discharge, the baby gained five liang (about 0.3 kg). The baby’s weight gain is so little; is it because the baby is not eating enough?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s weight gain is indeed quite slow. Considering that the baby’s food intake may be insufficient, it is recommended to focus on increasing breast milk supply to meet the baby’s nutritional needs.
