Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old and now weighs 5.7 kilograms. The breast milk is clearly insufficient now. I offer formula to the baby, but he doesn't drink it. I bought B&B, but he doesn't drink that either. I then bought Hero, and he keeps pushing it out with his tongue. If I feed him again, he starts crying hard.When I fed probiotics for over a month, he ate them, but now sometimes he does. However, he vomits shortly after eating.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness:
A health check said it was indigestion.
What kind of help is expected:
I hope the baby can gain more weight.
Doctor's answer:
Babies who are accustomed to breast milk tend to be very picky about their taste, so they may resist formula milk because breast milk is mild while formula has a slightly fishy taste. This makes them reluctant to drink formula. Make them hungry, and they will eat when they are extremely hungry. Otherwise, the baby will constantly reject the little bit of milk, making it difficult to eat enough and causing crying, which can also interfere with growth.Suggestions: There are many ways to increase milk production. It is recommended that you do not overexert yourself and pay attention to rest. Poor mood is also one of the reasons that can affect milk production. At the same time, drink more soups like bone broth, eat more greasy foods, such as pig trotter soup, thick carp soup, and cook vegetables with pig fat. Chicken soup, etc. You can also eat "milk-enhancing foods," eat some fruits appropriately, and it will take effect in two days. Properly prepared soup medicine or acupuncture can also increase milk production. Additionally, it is important to let the child suckle more to stimulate milk production.
Wishing the baby healthy growth. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby is very thin and does not drink enough breast milk or formula." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
