What to do if your one-year-old baby is thin

Babies must pay attention to nutritional supplements during their growth, otherwise they are likely to be stunted. The most obvious manifestation of most stunted babies is that they cannot find the standard weight. For babies around one year old, it is a critical period in their growth stage. Many babies may look thin. So what should we do if a one-year-old baby is thin?

What to do if your one-year-old baby is thin

1. First of all, we must rule out any medical problems with the baby and seek medical attention in a timely manner. The baby’s health is the most important.

2. Secondly, you need to supplement your diet and make sure you eat regularly. Babies under 1 year old should be given enough milk and eat regularly, and try not to eat continuously.

3. Pay attention to the intake of nutrition and trace elements. For example, cod is high in protein and pork liver can replenish blood.

4. Take your baby out to play more often to consume energy and avoid food accumulation, which may cause indigestion or poor appetite.

5. Ensure adequate sleep. If you want to gain weight or grow taller, you must control your sleep time (try to fall asleep before 10 pm), because adequate sleep can improve the synthesis and utilization of fat and protein in the body.

6. Finally, I wish everyone’s baby is healthy and safe (fat or thin is not important, just like some people are fat and some are thin, health is a blessing).

What to do if your baby is too thin

1. If parents find that their baby has not liked to eat recently and has anorexia tendency, they should check whether it is caused by indigestion or digestive system disease. As long as there is no disease or problem in this area, the baby will not easily become anorexic.

2. In this case, first determine whether the baby has intestinal diseases. If the disease is ruled out, it is likely that the absorption capacity is low, and you need to help the baby develop good eating habits. Eat three meals a day at regular times and in regular amounts, control the amount of snacks, and eat less snacks. Chew slowly when eating. Thorough chewing will increase saliva and aid digestion. Help your baby rub his tummy before going to bed, which will help digestion and absorption.

3. Babies love to play and consume more energy than they absorb. Some babies love to play and do not eat well. They eat while playing, which is not conducive to nutrient absorption. At the same time, because of their active nature, they do not eat on time when playing and have no regular eating habits, so babies are prone to thinness.

Through the above, I believe that all mothers have understood the two problems of what to do if the one-year-old baby is thin and what to do if the baby is too thin. If the mother follows normal methods in terms of diet and other aspects when taking care of the baby, but the baby is still too thin, mothers should pay attention to the possibility of illness and must take the baby to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
