Patient's question:
My little baby boy is now one month old. I don't know what the reason is, but he is a macrosomia. This is my first child. I would like to ask, how should I feed a macrosomia baby? How can he grow up healthily?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Breastfeeding a large baby is less likely to cause obesity than formula feeding. Breast milk is nutritionally balanced, with the content of various substances being perfectly suited to the baby's gastrointestinal function and nutritional absorption. Mothers should also eat a reasonable diet and avoid supplementing too much greasy soup just to ensure enough milk. This will lead to an imbalance in the nutrition of the milk, and excessive fat will increase the likelihood of obesity in the baby. Mothers should also not eat too much meat, among other things. At the same time, they should avoid overeating. When the baby is quiet or has moved away from the nipple, they should not force feeding anymore. They should also allow the baby to engage in appropriate activities. Generally speaking, mothers with high blood sugar have a higher likelihood of giving birth to large babies.
