Why does the baby cry when eating mother's milk?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Why does the baby cry when eating mother's milk?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the symptoms may be caused by glossitis or oral inflammation, you can choose to apply iodine glycerin externally for treatment and wait to see the results. If necessary, an oral examination may be required. Wishing you a speedy recovery. The baby should be positioned on their side, avoiding lying flat to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the respiratory tract, which could cause choking or aspiration pneumonia. Additionally, the side-lying position can allow amniotic fluid from the stomach to reflux through the esophagus into the mouth and flow out from the corners of the mouth, reducing the occurrence of various complications such as nausea and vomiting.
