Patient's question:
Some mothers believe that babies grow better with night feedings. Will not eating night feedings affect development?Doctor's answer:
Because the child eats less milk at night, they will definitely eat more during the day, which will not affect the baby's growth and development. However, there are a few babies with very low weight, some of whom weigh less than 2.5 kilograms at birth and have intrauterine growth restriction, eating less after birth. Their growth and development do not catch up with the accelerated growth, such children eat very little milk each time during the day, but can have night feeds. However, the frequency is only 1 to 2 times, and they fall asleep quickly after feeding.
