What to do if the baby's appetite is not good?

Patient's question:

Every three or four hours each night, eat 180 ML of breast milk each time. But last night, I woke up many times and only gave him 100 ML every three hours. After eating at 5:30 PM, he didn't eat again until 12:00 AM. He also ate twice in the afternoon, but very little each time...

Doctor's answer:

Poor appetite and vomiting are likely caused by overfeeding with complementary foods, leading to digestive discomfort. To allow the baby's gastrointestinal tract to rest and readjust, once fully recovered, the baby will naturally start eating dinner. Complementary feeding must follow the principles of complementary feeding, avoid being too rushed or too fast, give the baby time to recover, and this problem will never occur again.
