Patient's question:
My baby has been in the incubator for a week since birth, and after coming out, he doesn't eat my nipple. Even when he's hungry and I feed him, he just keeps crying. I out the milk and feed him every day. Is it okay to do this every day?Doctor's answer:
As long as the child can understand, it is okay to feed them with a bottle. The most important thing is to make sure the child is well-fed and not to interfere with their normal growth and development. Gradually reintroduce the mother's nipple for feeding. Proper feeding is essential; the diet should be balanced with a mix of meat and vegetables, and plenty of fruits and leafy greens. Choose cooking methods that are easy for the child to digest, such as boiling or stewing. During infancy, breastfeeding should be prioritized. Follow the principle of gradually introducing complementary foods to ensure a balanced diet. Avoid giving the child processed snacks, candies, drinks, and fruit juices as much as possible.
