Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, keeping the line breaks as they are:Okay, we have always, and the baby is also not rejecting the bottle. But a few days ago, the baby had a fever, and we took her to the hospital where they gave her some medicine. When we came back, we fed her with the bottle. The medicine might have had a strong taste, so the baby wouldn't eat it. To help her get better quickly, we had to force-feed her. Although the baby's fever is better now, she turns her head away the moment she sees the bottle, let alone feeding. When we try to feed her, she struggles desperately. Her mother needs to work, so during the day she can only rely on the bottle. What can we do? I'm so worried! If anyone has any good ideas, please teach me. Thank you so much!!!!!
Medical history and effectiveness: We have also tried using a spoon or a cup, but on the one hand, it's very slow, and it makes a mess everywhere with milk. Also, she doesn't really like these things either. Usually, she eats only a few mouthfuls and then stops, so it's not very effective.
Doctor's answer:
1、Leave a 24-hour period, during which you will only bottle-feed the baby. Choose a day when someone can help you. You may need to express milk to relieve breast fullness and pain, and then you can bottle-feed the milk to the child.2、On this day, do not give the baby anything to eat or drink at least two to three hours before bottle-feeding until the child feels hungry and eager to eat.
3、Try different bottles and nipples. Soft, teat-shaped nipples are best. Use a standard, slender bottle that can fit any type of nipple.
4、If possible, it’s best to start with expressed milk, as your baby is already accustomed to that taste. If there is a shortage of breast milk, you can use other formula milk.
5、Pierce a larger hole in the nipple with a sterilized needle to ensure the flow rate is greater than that of breast milk.
