Patient's question:
My baby is 12 days old and drinking formula milk. She eats 150ml each time and has about four to five feedings a day. Between every two feedings, I add some water. I'm very worried and can't sleep well. Every time she wakes up, she cries, and when I feed her formula, she doesn't eat much. Is it normal for her to wake up and eat like this?Doctor's answer:
Newborns sleep for a relatively long time, grow and develop quickly, and eat more accordingly. Their lives mainly consist of eating and sleeping. They are usually fed every 2 hours, but can also be fed on demand. Feeding should be sufficient, including water. This is normal for children. You can continue with the previous feeding method or feed them every 2 hours. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does my baby sleep poorly and cry as soon as they wake up?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
