Question
The baby is three months old, weighing 5.8 pounds at birth and now weighing 9 pounds. The height has increased from 48 centimeters to 61 centimeters. The baby is on a mixed diet and has been supplementing vitamins AD and calcium, but the weight gain is slow. We hope to understand if the growth is slow and what needs to be supplemented.
Answer
There isn’t much difference in height among newborns, but by the time they reach two or three years old, the differences in height start to become apparent. If a baby eats well and parents pay attention to nutrition, but fail to provide suitable conditions for growth and development, or ignore factors that affect height growth, such as lack of sunlight, it may lead to slow growth. Sunlight is crucial for a baby’s growth, but many parents worry that sunlight will make their children darker or cause skin diseases, so they do not often take their children out to bask in the sun. Moreover, avoiding direct sunlight may also be one of the reasons for the child’s slow growth. Nutrients are the material basis for a child’s growth, and if a baby before the age of three does not have enough food or fails to add complementary foods in a timely manner, it may affect height growth. It is recommended to use Yitong probiotics to improve the baby’s appetite, enhance resistance, promote nutrient absorption, and allow the baby to develop normally.
