Will breast milk make the baby full

Patient's question:

Is a 34-day-old baby who is breastfed likely to feel full? The baby feeds for a long time, and after finishing, their belly is swollen like a balloon. When tapped with their hand, it makes a popping sound. Is this bloating?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: According to the situation you described, breastfeeding is generally best for about a week. This period is quite good. Around a week, you can basically eat all kinds of food, and the nutrition is also relatively balanced. If you breastfeed for too long, it can easily affect your appetite and lead to poor nutrient absorption. It's best to wean around a week. I hope my reply helps you.
