Patient's question:
My baby just turned one month old. Recently, he has been eating non-stop during the day, as if he's always hungry. Last time I expressed milk and fed him, he drank 150 ML in one sitting, but it still didn't seem enough. He keeps looking around for milk. Is it normal for a one-month-old baby to eat so much? I feel like I'm struggling to keep up, and it's putting me under a lot of pressure. I can only express the remaining milk when the baby eats less at night. What could be going on here? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
So small babies don't have a regular feeding schedule. Their stomach capacity is relatively small, which may lead to frequent feeding. Some babies may have a natural appetite and a larger stomach capacity, resulting in increased milk intake. Pay close attention to your baby's condition. If there are no abnormalities after overfeeding, you can continue feeding them according to this amount. Carefully observe for a while, and everything will be fine.
