Patient's question:
Zero days have passed. Because there isn't enough milk, the baby keeps crying because they aren't full, so I've been giving them formula after breastfeeding. But recently, I heard that doing this isn't good for the baby's stomach. Is that true? If they can't eat right away, how long should the interval be between the two? If the baby cries, what are some good ways to calm them down? Thank you.Past treatment and effectiveness: None.
Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding is the best natural food for babies, safe, convenient, and suitable for their digestion and absorption, supporting their normal growth and development. You can enhance your milk supply by drinking more soup, such as pork trotter papaya soup or crucian carp soup. Ensure sufficient deep sleep and a happy mood. If the above methods still do not provide enough milk for the baby, you may need to supplement with formula milk to meet their nutritional needs. If the baby has not yet started digesting milk, it is not medically accurate to say, as in your previous statement, that they can directly digest formula milk.
