Patient's question:
The tongue is white and thick, and the baby shows no interest in milk during the day, almost refusing to eat. At night, when half-asleep and half-awake, the baby can take in a maximum of 60 milliliters and then stops eating. There is no high fever, and the mental state is still okay.Previous Treatment and Effects: Currently, the baby is being given Xingspi Yang'er Granules, but after more than a week, there has been no improvement in milk intake.
Desired Help: The baby was born at 47 cm and 5 pounds. Now, at two and a half months, the baby is 55 cm and 9.5 pounds. The height and weight are not fully meeting the standards. What should be done for the baby in this situation? Very anxious.
Doctor's answer:
Commonly, it recurs approximately every four to six months, and some babies may even experience it around three months. First and foremost, it is important to understand what causes the child to dislike drinking milk. There are many reasons for this recurrence, with the main ones being:1. Curiosity: Filled with curiosity about everything around them, they are easily distracted and unable to focus on drinking milk.
2. Preference for novelty: They are no longer just bored with "milk" and want to try other foods.
3. Unpleasant environment or atmosphere: Wearing too many clothes, feeling stuffy at home, or experiencing scolding can make the baby feel uncomfortable.
4. Slower rate of growth and development: Their nutritional and caloric needs are not as high as when they were newborns.
