How can the baby gain weight if he is too thin?

The healthy growth and development of the baby is something that all mothers are very concerned about. However, in the process of the baby's growth, some mothers often tend to ignore the baby's problems. Some are physical defects of the baby, and some are related to the physical constitution. For example, the baby is too thin and is already lower than normal. At this time, parents should pay attention to it.

1. 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.

2. What to do if your baby is too thin

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

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.

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 cereal, using milk and egg yolk to make bread porridge and so on.

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.

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.
