Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Do I still need to give water to a two-month-old breastfed baby?Doctor's answer:
Breast milk is divided into foremilk and hindmilk. Foremilk provides hydration for the baby, while hindmilk helps the baby feel full. Breastfed babies do not need water between feedings, but formula-fed babies should be given water once between two feedings.It is best to use first-generation antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine. There are also chlorpheniramine effervescent tablets available now, with fewer side effects. Additionally, use Ganlin lotion for bathing and apply triamcinolone cream to the affected skin areas.
