Patient's question:
My baby is 40 days old, weighing a bit over 7 jin. He eats many times a day, with each meal requiring at least 100 milliliters. I always feel he's not really full, and sometimes he wants to eat again after about an hour. At night, it's better— he wakes up every two hours and needs to be fed each time. Is this normal?Treatment history and effectiveness: None
Doctor's answer:
A child of this age typically has a bowel movement about every two hours. The child also seems hungry again after an hour or so, and the sound indicates they haven't eaten enough. And don't you also feel that even after drinking 100 milliliters, the child isn't very full?1. Give the child as much milk as they can drink. It's recommended to start with 120 milliliters. If the child can finish it completely, try 150 milliliters next. Adjust accordingly.
2. It's crucial to prepare the formula according to the instructions on the packaging. Never add extra water or formula yourself, as this can easily lead to the child not being full or having digestive issues.
