Patient's question:
Infant (20 days) frequently demands feeding, the mother feels her milk supply is sufficient, and trying Nestle formula also yields the same result. Currently, the infant urinates approximately 12-20 times daily and defecates 1-3 times, with the stool appearing well-digested and free of solid matter.Doctor's answer:
Hey: Or maybe you haven't yet developed the habit of feeding the baby regularly. The baby must eat on schedule. This is beneficial for the full production of your milk. This is not an illness. A newborn's stomach is very small. A newborn's stomach is only as big as a marble. It's only three days old. About the size of a ping pong ball. After birth, between 5 to 7 days, it's only as big as an egg. So the amount of milk the baby drinks each time is very little. They get hungry quickly. Want to breastfeed frequently. Only by feeding often can you ensure the baby's nutritional needs.
