Patient's question:
The baby has been wanting to eat again shortly after feeding for the past few days. Sometimes, even though they just finished eating for half an hour, they wake up after sleeping for a few minutes, opening their mouths to demand milk again. Additionally, I've noticed that the baby has been sleeping for shorter periods lately. During the day, it's a bit better, but at night, they often cry and demand milk after sleeping for less than a quarter of an hour, regardless of how much they've already eaten. What could be the reason for this? Last night, the baby ate milk six or seven times and kept fussing until morning before finally sleeping.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It seems you haven't established a fixed feeding routine for your child. Breastfeeding must be done at specific times to ensure your milk is fully produced. Gradually, your child will adjust, and everything will be fine. This is not a disease. However, if your child is affected by neonatal diseases, it is essential for the mother to take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely and appropriate treatment is necessary. For parents, it is important to provide enough care and attention to the child and to help them receive timely medical treatment.
