Question

Is it possible for a baby to have malnutrition if they eat too little?

Answer

A baby eating too little might be due to a deficiency in vitamins or trace elements, which can be improved by taking a multivitamin or 21st-century vitamins. Drinking plenty of water and consuming vegetables and fruits can also help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, by four months of age, babies should start introducing complementary foods such as egg yolks, rice porridge, and fruit juice to prevent anemia. If breast milk is not available, it is recommended to choose goat milk, as it is closer to breast milk and easier for babies to absorb.
