Patient's question:
A 29-day-old baby has been eating poorly for the last two days. They take a few sips and then fall asleep, and even when woken up, they refuse to eat. They also frequently choke while feeding, but my milk isn't very abundant either. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The baby is not drinking milk properly. Carefully observe to see if there are any mild coughing or the baby is spitting bubbles. The baby may easily choke while drinking milk, which could be due to incorrect feeding posture. Additionally, choking can lead to aspiration pneumonia. It is essential to observe carefully and ensure the baby does not eat too quickly. After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back.The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
