Children who do not grow properly despite consuming formula milk should promptly go to the hospital for examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly. During a child's development, parents should timely adjust their diet structure and ensure adequate supplementation of essential nutrients. Spending more time outdoors in sunlight can promote calcium absorption and support bone development, thereby helping to improve growth.
