Patient's question:
Should I wean my baby? When my baby was 39 days old, she had a fever. At four and a half months, she developed eczema. Since then, she has been having 3-4 bowel movements a day, sometimes thick and sometimes watery, with occasional curds. Yesterday, when I took her to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital for her eczema, the doctor also took her pulse and said my body is too weak, I should wean the child. But my health check-up showed no problems, and my milk supply is still good. The issue is that the baby seems to dislike eating my milk less now—she eats for about five minutes and then stops. Is it because my milk is not good? Should I wean the baby? What kind of assistance do you need: Should I wean the baby? What should I do if I don’t wean her?Doctor's answer:
The advice on weaning issues you are consulting about: Most of the time when your baby develops eczema again, it is mostly related to their diet. Besides that, if your baby has poor gastrointestinal health, this situation may also occur again. If your own constitution is not good, it is recommended to gradually introduce formula milk for transition. For the baby, you can give some infant stomach-strengthening powder for treatment. Drink more warm water to keep the gastrointestinal function in a good state, and the baby's eczema will gradually improve.
