Patient's question:
A 3-month-old baby is unwilling to eat milk. Now, as soon as his small mouth touches the nipple, he starts crying. He will still eat small steamed buns soaked in water. What could be the reason for this? Could it be weaning? Can a baby wean himself? "Doesn't look like he's sick." Please ask the experts for an explanation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is too early for weaning now. The baby's current condition mainly concerns insufficient digestive ability. It is recommended that you feed your baby small meals frequently, with fixed meal times and quantities, ensuring the daily food intake reaches over 800ml. Add other complementary foods promptly, such as vegetable soup, rice porridge, etc. If the baby has morning bad breath, dry or loose stools, digestive aid medication like Mamiaoi or Infant Essence can be taken.
