Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about a 28-week premature infant who is now 11 days old. Initially, all aspects such as feeding with formula were normal, but starting today, the baby has lost appetite and has not been crying. Previously, if the baby moved too much, it would cry, but now it does not cry at all. I would like to ask what could be the reason for this situation.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, I'm very happy to help you answer. According to the situation you described, it may be a symptom caused by indigestion. Pay attention to eating every two or three hours, don't feed the baby too frequently. Massage the area around the navel in a clockwise direction to aid digestion. If there is no further crying, it's not a big deal. Tap the stomach to see if it's bloated. If it is, you can use probiotics to regulate it.
