Question

The baby’s height is only about 70 centimeters, with sparse hair and a yellowish color, only about eight teeth have grown out, and the baby is picky with food. The baby often wakes up crying at night. What’s going on? How can it be improved?

Answer

At four months old, a child’s height has not yet reached the standard, so special attention and enhanced nutrition intake are needed to avoid protein deficiency. Sparse hair and a yellowish color are usually due to zinc deficiency. It is recommended to have the child undergo a trace element test to supplement the lacking nutrients in a timely manner. Additionally, it is important to diversify the baby’s complementary foods to provide a variety of nutrients. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
