Patient's question:
The child is 5 months old. Now it's found that 150ml of milk formula is not enough, so it has been increased to 180ml. Will this make him too full? The baby's gums are itchy and he keeps crying. What should I do? The child always likes to arch his stomach when lying down. Is this normal? Thank you,,, Please answer me one by one. Urgent,,,, Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the child's growth and development needs, it is appropriate to adjust the dosage. The itchy gums may be due to dietary stagnation leading to stomach fire rising. Moderate abdominal massage and appropriate activity are necessary. The child's protruding abdomen is not a major issue, and it is advisable to encourage the baby to engage in moderate activity. There is no need to worry excessively. Based on the current situation, the child needs a regular and warm diet. Breastfeeding mothers should drink hot water and eat warm congee, consume more vegetable and fruit juices, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Acupuncture for children can help promote their health, ensure smooth bowel movements, and address any discomfort by following up with a healthcare provider.
