Overfeeding may cause babies to gain weight too fast, but too fast weight gain may also be caused by genetic factors, endocrine system diseases and other conditions.
Overfeeding is a condition in which the baby takes in more nutrients and energy than the normal metabolic needs, and it usually causes the baby to gain weight too quickly, or even become overweight or obese.
If the baby’s parents have obesity, it may be passed on to the baby, leading to rapid weight gain.
If the baby suffers from hypothyroidism and other endocrine system diseases, usually will also be manifested in faster weight gain.
If the baby’s weight gain is too fast, you should go to the child health department of the hospital in a timely manner, with the help of the doctor to improve the growth and development assessment, to determine whether there is overweight or obesity, if necessary, you can adjust the feeding and exercise, to help improve the situation of obesity in babies.
