Patient's question:
Male, baby is 3 months old, recently these days, his throat is hoarse, only eats one side when breastfeeding, crying when putting the other side down.Doctor's answer:
The baby is breastfeeding, only eating from one side, and cries when trying the other side. Recently, the baby has had a hoarse throat, and it's considered whether the baby's nose is blocked on this side or if the baby finds it difficult to suck the nipple on this side. It is recommended that the mother can let the baby's head be close to this side of the breast when the baby is happy, and encourage the baby to eat as much from this side as possible when the baby is happy. Additionally, it is necessary to check whether the baby's breathing is obstructed or if there is an issue with the mother's nipple. By ruling out these situations, the baby can be encouraged to eat more from this side when happy, helping the baby establish a good connection with this side of the breast.
