Patient's question:
The baby is a premature infant and stayed in an incubator for two weeks. They have now been discharged, but they don't drink milk and just sleep. When they are woken up, they don't drink much either—sucking for just two swallows and then stopping. We are very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello this friend, based on your situation description, the baby is a premature infant who stayed in an incubator for two weeks and has now been discharged. However, they have been sleeping and not drinking milk, and even when awake, they do not drink. They have only suckled twice. Considering the above complaints, is the child's absorption capacity poor in the hospital under these circumstances? Such a child is still like a bottle and requires careful feeding. If not, just use a small spoon to feed, but it is best to suckle milk.
