Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half months old. He is eating a mix of breast milk and formula, but he's not eating much. He only has a bowel movement every four days or so. I'm so worried he's not getting enough to eat, and it will affect his development?Doctor's answer:
When Ba feels hungry, he will use his mouth to find the nipple, so a baby of two and a half months old will not be hungry. But if the baby eats too little, it may mean that the baby's spleen and stomach are relatively weak and the digestive ability is not strong, so he won't always want to eat and won't eat much. This requires the mother to regulate the baby's gastrointestinal tract. 4 days of defecation, I don't know what the stool is like. If the stool is not thin and not hard, it means that it is eaten less and needs to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If it is hard, it is constipation and drink more water.
