Patient's question:
My baby is 14 days old. He always seems unsatisfied after feeding, falls asleep immediately, wakes up again after a while, but milk can still be expressed from him. What could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Kind of help needed: How to treat and prevent this condition
Doctor's answer:
The child falls asleep while drinking milk, and if this habit persists for a long time, they may develop a habit of refusing to drink milk or sleep. When the child is full, they may suck on the nipple to play with it. In this case, don't force them to keep sucking.The lactating mother should rest more, get deep and sufficient sleep, and eat more meat, noodles, and soups. This will help increase milk production. If the child doesn't suck, don't force them to keep the nipple in their mouth.
At the same time, sometimes the child may cry softly. This is because they are practicing their lungs. Don't mistake it for not being full.
