Hi,

I have a newborn about 3 mo now. Yesterday went for regular check up and we found out that our nb are underweight. From the nurse respond, it actually something to worry about. She said the next check up if my nb still underweight, need to seek doctor attention. I quite worry now and me + my wife plan to put some weight on my nb until at the recommended figure but i dunno what is the best way since she still 3 mo.

Before u ask, yes i already consult with the nurse but i need 2nd opinion. I havent consult with Doc yet coz the check up only involve the nurse. Here is my nb current diet plan:

- breastfeed 8-10 times per day. Mix of bottle and direct feed around 80ml per feed.
- no additional food intake (no formula milk)
- sometimes she didnt finish 1 bottle

Since this is my first baby, i dont have any experience to deal with this. I open myself to any opinion, advice and suggestions. Currently our only plan is to feed her mix of breastfeed and formula milk. If anyone can suggest to me any good formula milk at affordable price, that would be great

breast milk is the best. dont formula before 6 months. Wife taking supplements?

I dont have a kid, but if you really worry , just make a appointment with doctor. At least you know the exact answer, worrying doesnt help. Money can earn later, your baby health cant.

Wife didnt take any supplement. Just drink holic, date milk etc.

Will do

are you using the correct teats? if the flow too slow, he will get tired of sucking.

bottle means what?mothers milk or powdered milk?

bro..ur baby might having hyper/hypothyroid condition..increased the breastmilk calories by adding some sort of baby glucose(refer pharmacies) or straight giving formula milk...she also might need to be under medication (ask the doctor to do bloodtest)..from where i know?experienced.

Yes the correct one but my wife notice sometimes she didn't suck it. Just put in the mouth and fall asleep

Mothers milk. This one use only when my wife not around

That is something i afraid of. No wonder the nurse so serious about it. Btw the glucose need to be consume by my wife?

whats her weight now? if its just a small different than normal nothing to worry about.

add to breastmilk n feed bottle to baby..almost everytime you had to do it until baby weight is on the graph back..

Edit: 1kg from the minimum weight

Ok thanks but i need to consult with my doctor first. I need to know whether it is safe or not

for fact, its not glucose..i forgot the name already..i just named it glucose as reference...refer your doc immediately before its getting to late..my baby got warded at the age of 4 month or something..if u have extra money, just when to private doc n share ur opinion..usually they will listen n adv u accordingly...

What's her weight now? Is your baby constantly gain weight every 1-2 weeks?

No, its 1kg. Edited on the original post

Ok thanks for the opinion and advice. Indeed it is something that i dont want it happen to my baby. Btw, how is ur baby now?

1kg need to monitor her progress closely. if her weight increasing from time to time, nothing to worry about.

where do u went for checkup?
if you are really worried..y not get 2nd opinion from paed?

shes good now but still required to take the hyperthyroid medicine every 2 day..doc said they will stop the medicine when she reach almost 3 years old to see if the thyroid glend is producing its own hormone..few more month only...ohh..and doc said this condition is normal@common among female sexes..im not even sure what the doc means by normal@common but my mom aged 65 also suddenly has the same condition and its causing her to lost weight..

The klinik kesihatan. Currently i seek 2nd opinion from my lil bro and his wife as both doctor


I see. Actually this is the first time i heard about this condition. And i hope ur baby will recover soon.
