Question
A three-month-old baby has been showing a lack of appetite since the full month, with unstable sleep. Over the past week, the baby has been eating even less, almost not eating at all throughout the day. When awake, the baby is constantly entertained, keeping the brain in an excited state. Recently, the baby has had bowel movements four to five times a day, with each movement being small in quantity. What could be the reasons for the decreased appetite? Does constant entertainment affect brain development? Does such frequent and small bowel movements indicate poor digestion?
Answer
Based on the description, it may involve deficiencies in trace elements, particularly zinc and calcium. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination to determine the actual condition. Currently, it is suggested to have a hospital check-up for trace elements. Once diagnosed, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and appropriate sun exposure should be taken to promote recovery.
