Patient's question:
The baby boy is two months old and is exclusively breastfed. Currently, he only nurses for short periods of time, sometimes only eating for five or six minutes before stopping. During the few minutes he does nurse, he seems to work hard and there is a lot of milk, but after finishing, he either plays with the nipple or sleeps. I'm not sure if he's truly full this way.Doctor's answer:
Guess if the baby is full. If the baby makes regular swallowing sounds while eating, but stops swallowing completely after being full, even if the nipple is still in the mouth, it means he really doesn't want to eat anymore. In fact, babies are quite smart. They don't want to eat even if they are full and have an extra bite. Don't worry, and don't get into the habit of letting the baby suck on the nipple. The baby is already full, and generally, there is no problem. You don't need to worry too much. It is recommended that you have a regular diet, a balanced combination of foods, and ensure adequate nutrition to maintain sufficient milk supply.
