What to Do When a 9-Month-Old Baby Weighs Over 15 Jin

A 9-month-old baby weighing only over 15 jin is having difficulty with breastfeeding and consuming porridge. She suddenly cries loudly at night after falling asleep and cries intermittently every 1-2 hours. Sometimes she falls asleep after drinking some milk, but she may not eat even when fed. Holding her doesn’t work, and she must be held upright for a while to fall asleep. The baby has been tested for trace elements and is not deficient in calcium but is deficient in zinc and iron. She also takes Eichengxin every day. Currently, she weighs only over 15 jin, refuses to drink from a bottle, and only consumes breast milk and two servings of Henshi porridge and one egg yolk. She has frequent yellow urine and dry stools.
