Patient's question:
The baby is one month old. On average, they want to be fed every hour. They fall asleep while eating, wake up when put down, and then cry. They calm down when picked up. Is this not normal? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This is normal, don't hurry, you need to correct it slowly. There's no problem. If the baby doesn't eat enough and falls asleep, it will sleep restlessly. It's simple, don't let the baby sleep while feeding, and let him sleep only after he's full. After eating, hold the baby upright, rest his head on your shoulder, and gently pat his back to burp him. Sometimes the baby doesn't sleep even after burping. It's recommended to let the child develop the habit of feeding every two or three hours, and avoid the habit of biting the nipple.
