What should I do if my child is very thin and doesn't grow meat?

Many children are too thin, which is actually an unhealthy condition. If a child is too thin, his resistance and immunity will be low, and his physical condition will be poor. Of course, poor physical fitness will cause many health problems for children. So, how should we adjust the baby if he is too thin and not gaining weight? Let me introduce the specific method to you below!

1. What should I do if my baby is very thin and doesn’t grow meat?

1. If the child is too thin due to improper feeding by parents, resulting in poor growth and development. Then we should adjust the feeding method. If the baby is breastfeeding, you can add formula milk appropriately.

2. If the baby does not gain weight after adding complementary foods. We should adjust the structure of complementary foods and appropriately reduce the addition of low-calorie foods, such as vegetables and fruits. Appropriately increase the amount of high-calorie foods.

3. If the baby is not fond of milk, we can put milk in the complementary food that the baby likes to eat, such as adding rice flour to rice flour, using milk and egg yolk to make bread porridge, etc.

4. If the baby has indigestion, we can try using some probiotics or other medicines under the guidance of a doctor, or feed the baby some digestive foods, such as hawthorn.

5. We should also take our babies out more often to bask in the sun and breathe the fresh air of nature. Letting your baby do more appropriate exercise can help digestion, but each exercise should not last too long. You should take appropriate rests to prevent excessive physical exertion.

2. How to judge whether the baby is too thin

If the baby has a good appetite, eats a lot, and sleeps well, but is very active, is busy all day, and has a lot of energy, then it is normal for the baby to be a little thin.

If the baby is not active, has a small appetite, likes to sleep, has difficulty feeding, or even vomits milk frequently, the result of this phenomenon is that the baby is too thin.

We should weigh our babies every month and record the weight. If you find that your baby is losing weight or continues to not gain weight, take your baby to the hospital to see a doctor and determine under the doctor's guidance whether your baby is too thin.

3. Notes for parents

First of all, parents should correctly understand whether their baby is unhealthily thin, then find out the reasons why their baby is thin, and find solutions to the reasons. Generally speaking, the baby's weight gain in the first few months is obvious. If the baby is thin, it means there is something wrong with the baby's body and parents should check it in time.
