Patient's question:
A friend of mine just had a baby, and the baby was diagnosed with asphyxia. They said the baby is being rescued, and it seems quite serious. The family is very worried and anxious. I want to know if asphyxia will affect the baby's ability to breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
Infants born with birth asphyxia should be considered a risk factor for brain damage. Infants with a history of hypoxia at birth, hypoxia after birth, combined with CT, may have at least moderate to severe encephalopathy. To determine if there are any sequelae, regular observation, neurological development assessments, and early intervention are necessary. If there are no significant issues, take good care of the baby calmly. They can drink formula milk. Currently, the first step is to stabilize the baby's condition.
