Patient's question:
The baby will eat one or two mouthfuls of milk each time, then open their mouth and strain while making a "Hmm" sound, and also pass gas. Then, with every mouthful, they stretch their body out flat. Finally, they stop eating. If you try to feed them again, they will cry. However, when they fall asleep and are fed, this doesn't happen. They have been experiencing a milk aversion for a month. Only in the past two days have they been willing to eat milk, but they do this again. What could be the reason? They have already been taken to see a doctor, and there is no abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of congenital heart disease in the baby, which would then lead to considering gastrointestinal diseases. It is recommended not to feed the baby too quickly during feeding. You can pinch a small part of the nipple to help the baby burp after feeding. Hold the baby upright and gently pat their back to expel the air that may have been swallowed into the stomach. The above suggestions are for the issue of "the baby opening their mouth and making a straining sound after drinking just one or two mouthfuls of milk." I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
