Patient's question:
I found that my breast milk is particularly thick. After each feeding, the milk stretches quite long on my nipples. I'm not sure if it affects the baby. Recently, the baby has been spitting bubbles a lot, coughing dryly, and it seems like their nose is 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.
