Patient's question:
Since the second half of last month, the situation with breastfeeding (infant formula) has not been good. It takes three or four attempts to finish 150 ML of milk, and the baby doesn't cry or fuss even if they go without eating for 6 or 7 hours. The mental state is still okay.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Many feasible suggestions have been provided.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check for the possibility of zinc deficiency and potential digestive issues. Consider taking oral zinc gluconate and Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye for a trial. To ensure the child eats well, attention should also be paid to the method. Some children have picky eating habits, causing parents to become anxious. In an effort to coax the child to eat dinner, some parents use toys to distract them, while others allow them to play while eating... Excessive indulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods are also direct causes of children's picky eating.Guidance: Create a relatively quiet environment for the child to defecate so that they can do so easily and happily. The digestive system is affected by emotions; stress can lead to reduced appetite. Therefore, when the child is defecating, adults should avoid loud laughter or teasing them to do this or that.
