Patient's question:
The baby is two days away from being two months old. Two days ago, she slept better than usual. Last night at 8 PM, she ate milk, and it wasn't until 11 AM today that she ate again. In between, she cried, but she calmed down as soon as she was held. However, she doesn't want to be fed now. So far, she has only eaten four times in total. Is this normal? Here is the baby's newly passed stool.Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, besides poor appetite, does the baby have any other symptoms? Is the baby unwilling to eat milk in the past two days, or has the baby been unwilling to eat milk since birth? From the baby's stool you took, no abnormalities were found. If the baby has been unwilling to eat milk in the past two days, it may be caused by indigestion. Medications such as oral probiotics can be given to the baby. If the baby has been eating a small amount of milk since birth and not gaining weight, it is recommended to have a thorough examination in the pediatric department of the hospital to determine if there is any illness.
