Patient's question:
Zero weeks, she is a baby girl. During this time, she feels like she's eating very little and only drinking 90 milliliters, but according to the standard (Auyou), she should be drinking 150 milliliters now. Also, the interval between her feedings is very long. In the hospital after birth, the doctor said to feed her every two or three hours. After discharge, we have been feeding her about every three hours, but recently, sometimes she doesn't eat even if it's four or five hours later, and sometimes she only eats half. She sleeps very soundly at night, and I'm afraid she might be hungry. If I pick her up to feed her after a five-hour interval, she keeps sleeping no matter what I do, and she won't eat. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, anorexia is a common disease in infants, primarily based on symptomatic treatment, with a focus on completely restoring the digestive and absorption functions of children. If a thorough examination reveals a zinc deficiency, zinc supplements can be administered according to medical advice, along with metoclopramide to enhance gastrointestinal motility, among other treatments. The above advice is for the question "What problems may arise if a baby eats too little milk?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
