Poor nutrition in babies is a serious condition that can develop quickly. Most common symptoms are:
- Slow or stopped weight gain, even weight loss
- Lethargy, sleepiness, reduced wake time
- Dry skin, loss of elasticity
- Slowdown in head circumference and height growth
- Frequent infections from weakened immunity
Short-term effects can include low energy, unstable blood sugar and fluid-electrolyte imbalances. Long-term effects can include neurodevelopmental delays that permanently affect brain development, bone growth problems and permanent short stature.
If baby isn't gaining weight, has fewer than 4-6 wet diapers daily, seems extremely fussy or unusually quiet, see your pediatrician immediately. Poor nutrition needs evaluation within days, don't wait.
