Patient's question:
My daughter is 13 days old. The child often cries, so we feed her milk, and she stops crying, but then she starts crying again after half an hour or an hour. I want to know how often a baby should be fed and whether to feed when they cry. How much milk should a 13-day-old baby be fed each time?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help do you want: Tell me what to do.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, consider whether the baby is crying frequently at 13 days old and whether feeding the baby every half hour or hour is appropriate. Can the baby digest it? Is the formula a bit too thin? Generally, a baby around 13 days old can consume 50 to 70 milliliters of milk per feeding, with feedings every two to three hours. This is advice for the question "My daughter is 13 days old and the child is crying frequently—what could be the reason?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
