It is possible that the baby’s weight and slow growth are early signs of malnutrition, but this sign alone is not a one-sided judgment of malnutrition; aspects such as the baby’s appetite and mental status also need to be observed.
Early manifestations of malnutrition in babies include loss of appetite, decreased frequency of activity, poor mental state, wasting or edema, etc. If the baby grows slowly and has the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for nutritional status evaluation, physical examination and blood biochemical examination, etc. After the examination, the doctor will determine whether it is malnutrition.
