Is it normal for the baby to drink less in the first few days?

Patient's question:

Baby was born on the first day and couldn't drink breast milk, drank 60 ml of formula. On the third day, drank 90 ml of formula. On the third day, drank 40 ml of formula plus 50 ml of breast milk. By the fourth day, it felt like she wasn't drinking as much as the previous three days. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. There's no way to say whether this is normal or not, because every child's appetite is different. Even for him, his appetite could be much lower on any given day, as long as it doesn't affect normal growth and development, it should all be considered normal. The above is my suggestion for the question "Is it normal if the baby doesn't drink as much as before?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
