Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I handle it if the umbilical cord hasn't fallen off yet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is considered that the condition may be caused by umbilical inflammation. Iodophor can be used for external application and disinfection. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be administered for treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene and keep it dry to prevent infection.At 4 months, the baby should start eating egg yolk. You are feeding scientifically, as egg yolk is a good food. However, do not overeat. At 4 months, the baby can eat a maximum of half an egg yolk, or just a quarter. By 5.5 months, consider eating one egg yolk, depending on the baby's digestive ability. Eventually, the baby should only eat one egg yolk per day, and not too much, as they may get bored.
Currently, feeding once a day with complementary food is sufficient. The main diet should still be formula. Additionally, it is best to give the baby 100 ml of water daily, divided between morning and afternoon. Add formula companion to the water to clear heat and add flavor.
