Patient's question:
I noticed that my breast milk is particularly thick, and after the baby finishes feeding, the milk stretches quite long on my nipple. I'm not sure if it affects the baby. Recently, the baby has been spitting bubbles a lot and dry coughing, and it seems like their nose is also blocked, making a gurgling sound. Is this a symptom of a cold?Doctor's answer:
Currently, during breastfeeding, if the milk is very thick, it may lead to insufficient milk supply, and you can appropriately give the child some water to supplement fluids. Additionally, the child is relatively young and in the breastfeeding period, adults should pay attention to their diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which is beneficial for the child's health. If using formula milk, it must be prepared according to the normal ratio.
