Patient's question:
What should a mom do if her milk supply is insufficient? In the first half month, she couldn't finish feeding it, and now only twenty-one days have passed, yet she feels like it's still not enough for the baby to eat. Moreover, the baby hasn't grown much since birth. The baby was born on November 9th and weighed 6.1 pounds. How much has it gained now?Doctor's answer:
Feed appropriately, maintain a balanced diet, and combine meat and vegetables. Eat more fruits and leafy greens. Choose cooking methods that are easier for the child to digest, such as stewing and boiling. During infancy, breastfeed as much as possible and follow the principle of supplementary foods, gradually introducing them to achieve a balanced nutrition. Avoid giving children puffed foods, candies, drinks, and fruit juices as much as possible. If breastfeeding is insufficient and the child is not growing as expected, consider adding formula milk. Once breastfeeding improves, switch back to exclusive breastfeeding to ensure normal growth and development.
