Patient's question:
My twin girls were born via cesarean section (38 weeks), weighing 2.28 kg and 2.02 kg respectively. At one month old, they weighed 2.64 kg and 2.48 kg, respectively, but their weight gain is not up to standard. After participating in breast milk nutritional supplements, both babies have developed bloating. What could be the reason? How should this be prevented? Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Breast milk nutritional supplements are generally used for premature infants in groups, with the purpose of enhancing their intake of nutrients from breast milk. This is because relying solely on breastfeeding means that some nutrients essential for premature infants cannot be obtained. Therefore, they not only need to drink breast milk but also use breast milk nutritional supplements to enjoy the benefits of breastfeeding and meet their nutritional needs.Currently, the baby is experiencing abdominal pain, which is not a serious issue. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, cultivate good eating habits, and avoid letting the baby go too long without being fed. Moderate abdominal massage can also be done to promote intestinal movement and gas discharge, helping to stabilize digestion and absorption. As long as the baby is in good spirits and has normal bowel movements, there is generally no major problem.
The above advice is for the question "My twin girls were born via cesarean section (38 weeks) and have low birth weight." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
