Question

The baby is two months and nine days old and seems to be growing slowly. At birth, the baby weighed 2845 grams and was 50 centimeters tall. During the last health check at 46 days, the weight was 3.7 kilograms and the height was 52.6 centimeters. The baby has poor sleep quality at night, often not falling asleep until 12:30 or 1 a.m. Currently, the baby is breastfed exclusively. What methods can be used to slightly accelerate the baby’s growth rate?

Answer

The key is for the mother to enhance nutritional intake to ensure an adequate supply of breast milk, allowing the baby to absorb vitamin D at a daily dosage of 400 units. If the baby has a stable afternoon nap and sufficient breast milk, it can promote rapid growth. If breast milk supply is insufficient, formula milk should be provided early on.
