Patient's question:
My little baby boy is now one month old. I don't know what the reason is. He is a macrosomia. This is my first child. I would like to ask, how should I feed a macrosomia baby? How can he grow up healthily?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Breastfeeding a large baby is less likely to cause obesity than formula feeding. Breast milk is nutritionally balanced. The content of various substances is perfectly suited to the baby's gastrointestinal function and nutritional absorption. Mothers should also eat a balanced diet. Don't supplement with too much greasy soup just to get enough milk, as this will unbalance the nutrition of the milk. Too much fat will increase the likelihood of obesity in the baby. Mothers should also avoid eating too much meat and other foods. At the same time, they should avoid overeating. When the baby is quiet or pulls away from the nipple, they should not force feeding anymore. They should also allow the baby to engage in appropriate activities. Generally speaking, mothers with high blood sugar have a higher chance of giving birth to large babies.
