Why does the baby always not eat enough

Patient's question:

My baby is over two weeks old and seems to always be hungry. It takes over an hour to finish a feeding, and then it cries again for food within half an hour. Is it possible that eating too much might stretch the stomach and make it difficult to digest?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain for you, according to your description. You need to first distinguish whether the baby eats for a long time because of her large appetite or because of insufficient milk. The baby hasn't eaten too much, just for a long time. Check his bowel movement volume, how often it is daily, whether once a day or every few days, and how much it is. If the bowel movement is once a day and each time is large, then the baby's milk intake is somewhat inadequate and can be appropriately restricted.
