Why doesn't the baby gain weight by eating dry food?

For parents and guardians, of course they hope that whatever their children eat can better absorb nutrients so that they can grow up healthy and strong. However, some parents have discovered a phenomenon, that is, the baby actually has a good appetite, but they do not necessarily grow taller or longer. When this problem occurs, parents should pay attention to whether the baby's nutrition is balanced, because unbalanced nutrition is not conducive to her healthy development.

Whether a child is fat or not is not a measure of his or her health. As the saying goes, "Being fat when you are a child is not considered fat." The reason for this saying is mainly because the water content in the bodies of infants and young children is much greater than that in adults. With more water in the body, they seem to be much fatter in terms of weight and surface appearance, but the actual situation may not be so.

What you mean by dry eating is not enough water for the child. Please pay attention to observe your child's stool carefully. Normally, your child's stool is too dry. The stool of a healthy child should be between semi-liquid and solid. If it is clumpy, it means that the child does not drink enough water on a daily basis, so he will not gain weight.

There are many differences between people. Some people eat a lot, but due to the strong metabolization effect, the accumulation of food in the body may not be much, so they look very thin. This is the case in today's era, after having achieved basic food and clothing standards, thin people do not eat less than fat people, and may even eat several times more than fat people. These people will also show certain symptoms during infancy. This situation has many genetic factors, so you should find out whether any of the child's paternal or maternal relatives have this condition. If so, it should be normal.

A child's weight is also related to his nutritional status. Even if he eats a lot, he will not gain weight if he does not digest and absorb well. This is especially true for children who are zinc or iron deficient. They cannot fully digest and absorb what they eat, so they naturally will not gain weight. Since the problem you raised is rather general, it is not convenient to make a specific analysis and I can only talk about it in general terms. If there are any special circumstances, please add them in your question. But one thing is certain, fat or thin is not important. What matters is the child's mental state. As long as the child is in good spirits, you don't care whether he is fat or thin. If you are in a bad mental state, it is best to ask a professional doctor to give you an appropriate diagnosis.

When a baby loves to eat and eats a lot, but does not grow taller or taller, parents should pay attention to whether they are doing a good job in diet and preparing food for them correctly and healthily, or whether there are some other unfavorable factors, because many times the reason why the baby does not gain weight may be a sign of roundworms in the stomach.
