Patient's question:
My little nephew is eight and a half months old. He has a large appetite for milk and short intervals between feedings. He often cries and fusses because he isn't full. If he eats too much, he can't digest it well, and sometimes he has bowel movements several times a day, even diarrhea. He is very thin. Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. Based on the situation of your young nephew, it is recommended that the child's mother pay attention not to let the baby eat too much at once and follow a small meal, frequent meal approach. Avoid letting the baby go hungry for too long before feeding. If milk production is excessive, it is suggested to use the index and middle fingers to pinch the areola during feeding to reduce milk flow, preventing the baby from swallowing too quickly and inhaling air, which may cause indigestion.
