Patient's question:
Doctor, a little girl who is almost six months and a few days old, bottle-fed, has been refusing to drink milk for nearly a week. She cries when drinking milk, very restrained, eating while lying down, being held, or using a sipper, but she just doesn't want to drink milk. Her milk intake has also increased significantly. When she drinks milk well, she consumes about 800ml, but a few days ago she could only drink 600ml, and yesterday she only drank over 200ml. Moreover, she slept excessively long during the day yesterday. I really had no choice but to steam some scrambled egg yolk porridge for her to eat a little, and then she also had some rice porridge. I really don't know what to do anymore?? Is this a phase of milk aversion? Will the baby be malnourished if she drinks so little milk?? I am very anxious.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby is formula-fed. Recently, the milk intake has increased significantly, and the amount of complementary food provided has also increased. Complementary food has already been introduced at six months, starting with very small amounts and gradually introducing a variety of different foods. It is recommended to stop complementary food for now and take FeiShiBaoLan for conditioning. Wait until the absorption improves before gradually introducing complementary food again. I hope you can go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible and seek early treatment to get rid of the disease. Wishing you good health.
