Patient's question:
The baby is now over 90 days old. When feeding, it always cries for a while before eating properly. What could be the reason? (The milk supply is quite abundant, so it flows quite fast when the baby feeds.)Doctor's answer:
When encountering a crying baby, don't hurry. Stay calm and look for the reason. Generally speaking, newborns in the first half month after birth do not sleep much and do not cry much. After they grow a bit older, the crying gradually increases. If it occurs shortly after feeding and his back has already been patted, and he has burped, and has settled down, then he is most likely not fed enough. Since babies often fall asleep within minutes of feeding, and the mother doesn't wake him up to continue feeding, in this situation, continuing to feed to meet his needs will calm him down.
