Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Haven't been eating milk for a long time, gained six ounces within a month, and has been crying and fussing during sleep recently. Treatment history and effectiveness: A month ago, some digestive Chinese medicine was taken. Desired help: Want to consult what to do if not eating milk?Doctor's answer:
Once the mother notices that the baby is not drinking milk, she can try adjusting the dietary habits. Change to small meals and frequent feedings, and try to arrange for the baby to eat in a quiet environment. A quiet environment can help the baby focus more on drinking milk, especially for babies over 3 months who are particularly easily affected by their surroundings. If adjusting the diet does not improve the baby's lack of appetite for milk, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for a doctor's examination. Identify the real reason for the baby's aversion to milk and prescribe appetite-stimulating and gastrointestinal-boosting medications based on the situation. Parents must never buy medicine for the baby themselves. Since the baby's organs are not yet fully developed, any medication taken can have a significant impact on the liver.
