Baby, who is 2 months and 10 days old, has been eating less breast milk in the past two or three days. How is that?

Patient's question:

Baby is 2 months and 10 days old. Recently, for the past two or three days, they have been eating less breast milk and are even more reluctant to drink formula. They only eat for a few minutes before falling asleep, and it's easy for them to wake up during naps. I'd like to ask what could be the reason for this.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is recommended to give your child a bath and massage before bedtime to help them calm down. The baby's deep sleep environment should be as quiet as possible, and curtains can be drawn before the 100th day of sleep. Soft music can be played before sleep, and the lights can be dimmed, which is also beneficial for the child's deep sleep. Avoid making the child too excited before sleep, as excessive excitement can also help with sleep. Digest vitamin D and get adequate sunlight every day, and supplement calcium appropriately. It is recommended to have your child tested for trace elements to see if the calcium deficiency is the cause.
