Patient's question:
The baby girl is 57 days old today, and the milk formula amount is 100-120 ml. Is it too much? However, during the day, she can go without eating for 3 hours, and at night when she's asleep, she can sometimes go without eating for more than 3 hours. Previously, she would fall asleep right after drinking milk, but recently, she has been humming and grumbling after finishing her meal. Besides twisting her body, her arms and legs also move before she finally falls asleep.Doctor's answer:
The amount of milk the baby consumes is fine. Based on your description, it is considered that the baby can be well-fed. The small movements you mentioned are also okay. It is likely due to the baby's immature nervous system development. We recommend that you take good care of the baby. At 57 days old, it is advisable to supplement with vitamin D, which helps with calcium absorption. The baby's small nervous system is still developing, and it may experience the situation you described again, but there is nothing to worry about.
