Patient's question:
90 days have passed, and recently I haven't been eating much. I don't feel hungry for four or five hours. Two months ago, I ate every two hours, and each time I could eat 120 ML. Now, even though I eat every four or five hours, I can only manage 100 ML. It's been five days, and I haven't had a bowel movement yet. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby has already started eating solid food. It's really important not to rush, and you must take it slow. Be patient and follow the principle of gradually moving from thin to thick, from less to more, and from one type to multiple different kinds. Give the baby's digestive system time to adjust. After drinking mother's milk, the baby may not be fond of other foods because the baby's taste buds are not very developed before 6 months. Moreover, a baby fed exclusively with breast milk before 6 months will never lack nutrients, as breast milk is a living source of nutrition. So be patient—this will benefit the baby for life.Another very important point is that while introducing solid food and formula, you must also give the baby plenty of warm water and more fruits.
