Patient's question:
3-month-old baby only feeds every 6-7 hours—is this normal? Previously, they were feeding every 2-3 hours. ! Now, they only have a bowel movement every 2 days. !Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered! They have only consumed a small amount of Xiao Chaihu and a tiny bit of Sìmó Tāng!
What kind of help is desired: The reason for feeding every 6-7 hours!
Doctor's answer:
The child is three months old and eats every six or seven hours, which is a bit long. The child eats little and has infrequent bowel movements, so it's important to pay attention to care. The food should be light and easy to digest. You can give the child infant stomach-strengthening powder for treatment. Probiotics can also be used. Gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction and then wait and see.The above advice is for the question "Is it normal for a 3-month-old baby to only eat every 6-7 hours?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
