How to feed a macrosomic newborn

Patient's question:

Now, big babies urinate and cry after, and they keep moving. They jump when there's a little movement. It looks good to us. They cry when they're hungry, and they find the bottle when it's put near their mouth. I would like to ask how to feed a big baby?

Doctor's answer:

It refers to babies weighing more than 4000 grams at birth. The cause of the illness is related to maternal nutritional excess during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or genetic factors. Large babies are prone to difficult labor during childbirth. The baby is normal. Breastfeed on schedule. The baby you described is a normal phenomenon. Do not overeat or have frequent meals. Avoid overindulgence to prevent stomach and spleen disharmony, which may lead to discomfort and diarrhea. After feeding the baby, hold them upright and gently pat their back to prevent spitting up.
