How to deal with a 40-day-old baby who is a bit fussy with feeding?

Patient's question:

The child is 40 days old. Recently, their daytime milk intake has decreased. They often eat a little and then fall asleep or become still, only to cry for food again after a while, repeating this cycle. Even when asleep, they don't stay asleep for long and wake up frequently. Previously, they ate about 150 ml per meal, but now they eat around 90 ml.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description of the baby being 40 days old, the milk intake has decreased recently. Previously, one meal required 150ml, but now it's around 90ml. You can add yeast tablets to milk or water to aid digestion, then wait and see. It should be fine.
Suggestions:
- Pay attention to the child's oral hygiene.
- Maintain a regular lifestyle and schedule.
- Keep the child's abdomen warm.
- Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
- Breastfeed in small, frequent meals, with regular and consistent portions.
- Administer vaccinations to the child in a timely manner.
