Patient's question:
The baby sleeps about 20 hours a day. It is very easy to spit up milk, and the milk has a sour smell when spit up. It has been about half a month since the baby was born, and today it is 79 days old. The baby is exclusively breastfed. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby had small bumps on its face, and the doctor said it was an allergy. A few weeks ago, the baby had diarrhea, spit up milk, and took Compound Pepsin Powder. Since then, the baby has not liked to eat milk. The kind of assistance you need: Assistance from the doctor. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to rule out conditions caused by illness, such as oral herpes, ulcers, or high fever that may be causing discomfort in the baby. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to seek follow-up medical attention promptly.Second, it is essential to maintain regular bowel movements in the baby and observe whether there are any signs of abdominal pain, indigestion, or food stagnation. If indigestion is present, infant digestive health powder can be given to the baby, and it is crucial to ensure that bowel movements remain regular.
Advice: If there are no obvious abnormalities, it may be necessary to consider physiological milk aversion. Around four months, babies often enter the phase of physiological milk aversion. Since the baby is currently three months old and showing no abnormalities but not eating milk, it may be appropriate to offer some fruit juice. Additionally, it is important to consider whether the baby’s nipple opening is too large, which could lead to choking.
Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
