Patient's question:
My child is now 42 days old, a girl. This week, she has started to be hungry all the time. After feeding her, I burp her, but she wakes up hungry. She wakes up hungry even after sleeping for half an hour, and also wakes up hungry after sleeping for four hours. She falls asleep after eating, but when placed in bed, she wakes up crying. She cries for food, and the milk supply should be sufficient. Around 9 PM, she starts eating until 11:30 PM. After eating, she takes a nap. When I burp her, she wakes up every five minutes and wants to eat again, until about 11 PM. So far, the assistance I need: I want to ask the doctor, what is going on with this?Doctor's answer:
Advice: Except for the feeling of fullness you have before changing the diaper, which is significantly relieved after changing it, if this is not the case, it is likely that there is not enough milk. It is recommended to provide formula milk. Sometimes, immediately after breastfeeding, the milk supply may not be sufficient, but it will improve later. You can wait until the milk supply increases before switching back to exclusive breastfeeding.This is the advice for the question "My baby is always hungry at 42 days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
