Question
The child is now one year old. Although they eat a lot and are in good spirits, they just don’t gain weight. Parents are asking what could be causing this and what aspects should be checked if a medical examination is needed.
Answer
Doctors suggest that parents pay attention to the child’s nutritional balance and try to improve the child’s appetite and digestion through traditional Chinese medicine. They also recommend that parents strengthen nutrition by eating more protein-rich and vitamin-rich foods, and ensure the child gets adequate rest and physical exercise. If the child is breastfed, it is advised that the mother pay attention to dietary adjustments to ensure a balanced diet and promote the child’s total calorie intake.
