Question
My baby is 80 days old and has not gained any weight in the past month. The doctor mentioned a possible calcium deficiency and suggested taking one vitamin A dropperful and one vitamin D dropperful each day. I would like to inquire about why the weight is not increasing, as my baby drinks only 60 milliliters of milk each time and has a poor appetite.
Answer
Based on the situation you described, your baby’s unsatisfactory weight gain may indicate insufficient nutrition intake. How much milk does your baby drink in total each day, if they consume only 60 milliliters each time? Does your baby also receive breast milk besides formula? These are suggestions for the question ‘Why isn’t my baby gaining weight at 80 days old?’ I hope they are helpful to you, and wish for your baby’s early recovery.
