The baby's weight gain is slow, which may be caused by improper breastfeeding and other living habits. This article will discuss the reasons and solutions of baby's slow weight gain from the perspective of breastfeeding.

Insufficient feeding frequency

Some mothers follow the advice and feed them every three or four hours; Some mothers breastfeed strictly according to the schedule; And some babies are naturally quiet and don't take the initiative to breastfeed. Newborns should eat milk at least 10- 12 times a day. If the baby eats less and gains weight slowly, the mother should increase the frequency of feeding to ensure that the baby gets enough nutrition and promotes milk secretion.

Insufficient calorie intake

Even if the milk is sufficient, if the baby sucks for a short time and does not take enough post-milk (high in calories and fat), even if the urine is normal and well developed, be alert. Mom should let the baby suck for enough time to ensure that the baby gets enough nutrition.
