Patient's question:
What is the reason for the baby always feeling nauseous? He/She is also unwilling to breastfeed. When taken to the hospital, the doctor didn't say what was wrong. The baby feels nauseous and is unwilling to breastfeed, and eats very little. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
For the baby's digestive discomfort, here are three suggestions for the mother:1. Adopt a proper nursing position: Try to hold the baby upright while nursing, allowing the baby's body to be in a downward position at about a 45-degree angle.
2. Make sure the baby burps after feeding: Hold the baby upright against your shoulder, gently patting their back to help them burp out the air that was swallowed along with the milk. Then place the baby back in bed, which can help prevent vomiting.
3. Avoid overfeeding and do not space feedings too closely.
