What is the reason why babies don’t grow meat?

In daily life, the weight of a baby after birth is very important, and many babies do not gain weight. Long-term thinness of the baby will easily affect its normal growth, and it will also easily affect the development of all aspects of the body. The reason why the baby does not gain weight may be due to the child's large amount of activity, or poor gastrointestinal function, and inability to absorb nutrients. You should pay more attention to observation in daily life.

Ascaris

Common parasites in children include roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, red worms, and ginger worms. These parasites live in the intestines and rob children of their nutrition every day. They absorb nutrients from the human body, causing weight loss, fatigue, anemia, and abdominal pain. It is conceivable that how can children at this time "grow meat"?

Notice:

When children suffer from chronic wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, chronic diarrhea, endocrine diseases, etc., they may not gain weight.

Babies who love to move tend to be thin. In a person's life, the fastest growth period is within the first year after birth. The weight increases by two times from birth to one year old. The main reason is that babies have low activity levels and sleep 15 to 16 hours a day. "The body is larger than the output," so it is natural that the weight continues to increase.

After one year old, as the baby learns to walk independently and his range of activities increases, the rate of weight gain gradually slows down. Therefore, some babies who are particularly naughty and active are generally thinner.

Gastrointestinal tenderness

The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, and some babies have relatively poor gastrointestinal function, resulting in the baby eating a lot but also excreting a lot, and very little is actually digested and absorbed by the body. The nutrients in the food cannot be used by the body, so the baby naturally cannot grow fat.

If the food prepared by the mother is of poor quality and low in major nutrients such as protein and fat, the baby will also be thin.

Zinc deficiency

Through physical examination, mothers can understand the health of their baby's digestive system, spleen, stomach, etc. If the condition is serious, they can follow the doctor's advice to take children's special medicines such as spleen and stomach tonic and digestion aid.

Tips:

If a child is deficient in zinc, iron, calcium or has anemia, for severe cases, medication should be taken as directed by the doctor; for mild deficiencies, dietary supplements are recommended.

Lack of sleep

Children secrete the most growth hormone when they are sleeping, while the body consumes the least, which is the best time for growth. Children who don’t get enough sleep will not grow weight. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange children's sleep time reasonably. The younger the age, the longer the sleep time should be.
