Patient's question:
My milk supply is too much. When the baby is sucking, the milk flows too strongly. Even when the baby is not sucking, it flows like water. The baby can't swallow it properly. What should I do? When I pour the milk into a bottle, the baby doesn't suck the nipple of the bottle. How can I feed the baby without choking him with milk? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Mom uses her fingers to pinch the nipple, and it will never leak so quickly. After feeding, gently pat the baby's back. The infant's gastrointestinal development is not mature, so it's normal to have spitting up. As long as it's not excessive, carefully observe the baby for any other abnormalities. When feeding with a bottle, ensure the nipple is completely filled with milk. Don't be afraid of the milk being too forceful and only filling halfway, as this can easily cause the baby to inhale air. After feeding, it's best to have the child lie on an adult's shoulder and gently pat their back to help the inhaled air escape.
