Patient's question:
My child has been 36 days old. Recently, I've noticed that they are not feeding as strongly as before. Previously, it was difficult to pull the nipple out of their mouth while feeding, but now because they don't hold the nipple tightly, it always slips out of their mouth. Their cries are also not as loud as before, and their voice becomes hoarse after crying for a few seconds. It looks like they are crying very hard, with their face flushed, but there is little sound.Could you please ask the doctor what is happening? Is this a normal physiological phenomenon, or is there something wrong?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the baby has been born for 30 days and suddenly lacks the strength to breastfeed. This might be because the baby is not hungry, which is why it falls asleep while eating.Suggestions: It is generally considered normal and there is no need to worry too much. You can follow the instructions on the (infant formula) to feed the baby. If the baby continues to show this lack of appetite and delaying feeding times does not improve the situation, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
