Patient's question:
Born via cesarean section, the baby is 21 days old. In the first few days, there was a lot of milk, but the incision was painful, so breastfeeding was not initiated. After discharge, breastfeeding was attempted, but the baby did not take to it well. Whenever hungry, the baby would cry loudly and refuse to breastfeed, only drinking from the bottle with large gulps. The bottle temperature was difficult to control, and it was also inconvenient. Is there any way to get the baby to breastfeed properly? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you stop feeding your baby formula milk from now on. The less the nipple is used, the less milk the body produces. The less the baby suckles, the less milk is produced. Over time, this can interfere with milk production. Additionally, the baby suckling milk also helps with wound healing for cesarean births. For severe cases of cesarean births, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only.
