Question

Are babies who haven’t gained weight between two and three months old not eating enough?

Answer

Babies who haven’t gained weight between two and three months old may be suffering from dyspepsia. Parents are advised to give the baby some digestive aids, such as lozenges, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. If necessary, they can use pediatric laxatives to relieve constipation. In addition, parents can give the baby an abdominal massage to help promote digestion and defecation.
