Patient's question:
The baby is now almost four months old. Previously, I always fed him formula while holding him. Recently, for a while, he started crying after eating just a few mouthfuls while being held and refused to eat anymore. Later, I noticed that he didn't cry when he was lying down and eating. Why is that? We had always fed him while holding him. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
This may be due to an uncomfortable posture. At the same time, it's important to check if the baby has blisters or ulcers in their mouth, as this could also be a reason. The baby may be uncomfortable due to the incorrect posture. It's essential to pay attention to various factors and make sure to pick the baby up for feeding.The above suggestions are for the question "Why does the baby cry when eating while lying down, but not when being held?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
