Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please explain why a baby might not be getting enough to eat during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
The baby is still small and cannot control appetite. Even if they are full, they will keep their mouth open to ask for more. My baby was the same when they were little, always eating non-stop. Even if they vomited after eating, they still wanted to continue. When the baby gets older and starts to want to play, they will lose interest in eating. Naturally, they won't want to eat when they are full.It might be caused by intestinal inflammation. You can take Smecta and probiotics for symptomatic treatment. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
