Now on exclusive breastfeeding + breast milk fortifier, milk intake about 500 ml/day. Breast milk fortifier was used for about 2 weeks, with diarrhea during that period, and it was discontinued during the diarrhea.The baby cried a lot after birth, and there has been slight improvement now. However, the crying is still sharp, and the baby is easily agitated.
Complete blood count showed high white blood cell count since birth.
