Patient's question:
Two-month-old baby only eats milk for six hours at night—is that normal? I am breastfeeding, but I don't know if the baby is getting enough. Before, during the postpartum period, sometimes they could eat 120 to 140ml at one time, and I added formula then. Now, with pure breastfeeding, they have bowel movements only every three or four days, and urination is even less than when they were one month old. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
The baby is experiencing reduced milk intake again, and the amount of urine and stool is also less. If the baby shows excessive deep sleep, does not cry or fuss, it could be a sign of hypothyroidism. I don't know the normal results for the two diseases screening, but it is best to test for five thyroid functions. The above advice is for the question "Is it normal for a two-month-old baby to only eat milk for six hours at night?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
