Patient's question:
Doctor, my little one is three and a half months old. On the 29th, a thorough examination revealed external hydrocephalus. They said she cannot be fed at night. She needs to be fed every night, but she doesn't take the nipple either. Is this very bad for her? Does breastfeeding affect her growth and development? Can I mix formula and breast milk for feeding?Doctor's answer:
Based on your baby's condition, it is speculated. If the doctor does not allow feeding the baby milk at night, giving formula milk, or mixed feeding with milk, it may not necessarily be good for the baby. This disease is relatively severe. Treatment is very difficult. After systematic treatment, you will be fine. You can carefully observe the changes. This external hydrocephalus will gradually disappear around one year of age. The child may increase the number of feeding times at night.
