Question
The child is 6 years and 5 months old, with a height of 115cm and a weight of 17kg. Last year in early January, the height was 110cm and the weight was 30kg. In one year, there has been little growth in both height and weight. Eating is also quite difficult, as the child often has no appetite and cannot eat much.
Answer
Last month, there was no significant increase in the child’s weight and height, which may be due to the changeable weather or the food not being to the child’s taste, leading to poor appetite. Additionally, apart from ensuring the child gets a good night’s sleep, daytime sleep is also important. Generally speaking, for a one-year-old, the daytime sleep should be about 2 hours to better promote the child’s physical development, especially brain nerve development. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to the balanced diet of the child, ensuring a comprehensive nutrition. If necessary, you can take the child to a local hospital to measure the trace elements and supplement them according to the test results.
