For a 4-month-old, breastmilk or formula remains the most important source of nutrition. Ensure your baby is feeding frequently and for adequate durations. If you are breastfeeding, check your latch to make sure the baby is getting enough hindmilk, which is richer in fat. Try feeding on demand whenever your baby shows signs of hunger. Avoid introducing solids at this age unless specifically advised by your pediatrician, as their digestive system is still developing.
Every baby has their own growth curve, so it's essential not to compare too much. If you are concerned about your baby's weight, the most important step is to consult your pediatrician. They can assess your baby's overall health, track their growth percentile, and provide personalized guidance, including whether any dietary changes or supplements are needed. Sometimes, a gentle oil massage (malish) can also aid digestion and stimulate appetite, but always prioritize professional medical advice for nutritional concerns.
