What are the factors that affect the baby's weight gain standard?

There are many factors that affect the baby's weight gain standards, but each baby's situation is different, so the factors that affect the child's weight gain standards are also different. This requires parents to pay attention to observe their baby's situation. Children's health is the biggest concern for parents, so parents can cultivate good living habits for their children in real life, so as to provide the baby with a healthy growth environment.

The reasons for insufficient weight gain need to be considered from the following two aspects:

(1) Disease factors: After 4 months of age, the various immune substances and nutrients (iron, zinc, etc.) brought from the mother have been basically exhausted. Therefore, children over 6 months old are more susceptible to illness. Diarrhea and repeated respiratory tract infections are one of the reasons for insufficient weight gain in children after 6 months. Therefore, in order to reduce the chance of children getting sick after six months of age, it is necessary to increase children's outdoor exercise and nutritional intake.

(2) Feeding factors: Improper feeding is the main reason for insufficient weight gain in children after six months of age. After a child is six months old, untimely and insufficient addition of complementary foods can cause feeding difficulties for the child, insufficient nutrient intake, and slow weight gain. Improper methods of adding complementary foods, such as adding a certain type of food too early or adding too much complementary food for the first time, can also make it difficult for the child's gastrointestinal tract to adapt and lead to indigestion.

If this happens more often, the child will gain weight slowly, or even stop gaining weight or lose weight. Therefore, when adding complementary foods, the principle of gradual progress should be followed, both in terms of quantity and type. This is a necessary way to ensure that children eat normally and obtain nutrition.

The above content is about the factors that affect the standard of infant weight gain. After parents have a certain understanding, they can fully supplement the elements that their children lack according to their baby's situation, so that the baby can grow up healthily from an early age. Having a healthy body is the greatest wealth of babies, so parents must give their babies such a wealth.
