Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old, breastfeeding for a few days and then drinking formula once. Recently, the baby hasn't been sucking on the pacifier and doesn't drink water. If the pacifier is put in the baby's mouth, they cry. There is some loose stool and a bit of curdled milk, and sometimes the baby spits up curdled milk. It's urgent, thank you.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Doctor's answer:
Three-month-old babies may experience a resurgence of the "weaning phase." This is characterized by an increase in milk intake compared to usual, but the baby's mental state and growth and development are good. There are no other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, abdominal distension, constipation, or normal bowel movements.When the baby is reluctant to breastfeed or use a bottle, you can try feeding them with a small spoon to see if they will accept it. If the baby still refuses to drink milk, do not force them, as this could lead to choking and aspiration pneumonia. Pay attention to any other discomfort symptoms the baby may experience, and seek immediate medical attention for further examination to rule out any other issues.
