Patient's question:
Baby is 19 days old and is experiencing the following issues again:1. Bowel movements are frequent, about 8-10 times a day.
2. Feeding takes a long time, about 40 minutes per session.
3. The baby seems very tired but won't sleep, crying instead, and only calms down when held.
Doctor's answer:
The baby has frequent bowel movements, which may be related to poor digestion and absorption or catching a cold. If the baby is breastfed, check how insufficient milk supply could be causing this. If the milk supply is sufficient, feeding time is usually 10-15 minutes. If the baby falls asleep soundly while being held, you can gently place them in a deep sleep before putting them down. Also, be mindful of preventing them from catching a cold.The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my newborn baby is experiencing the following issues at 19 days old?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
