Patient's question:
The newborn is one week away from completing the full moon, and they often stretch. They hum in their mouth. Sometimes it feels like they are straining all over, with their face flushed red. They are currently eating breast milk. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Because in the first three months after a baby is born, their growth rate is particularly fast, and their respiratory system is not yet fully developed. They need to stretch their bodies to compress their lungs, which helps supply oxygen to the heart! This is a normal phenomenon! Generally speaking, as long as the baby is in good spirits, there are no abnormalities in feeding, sleeping, urinating, or defecating, there is no need for the mom to worry too much. All small infants love to strain, and this is just a normal phenomenon of the baby growing rapidly!
