Poor weight gain in a newborn can be related to feeding difficulties, prematurity, illness, nutritional concerns or other underlying conditions. Dr. Nihaz Naha K provides comprehensive evaluation for newborn growth and weight gain concerns at Aspire Children's Specialty Centre, Kozhikode, including assessment of feeding patterns, weight progression and overall health. Parents are guided on appropriate feeding, nutrition and follow-up according to the baby's individual needs. Regular growth monitoring is particularly important for premature and low birth weight babies. Families can seek evaluation when their baby is feeding poorly, gaining weight slowly or showing changes in expected growth patterns.
