Question
My baby was born prematurely and is now two months old. They turn red in the face and strain their hands and feet while breastfeeding. Should I take them to the hospital for a check-up?
Answer
The situation you described with your baby, if there are no other issues, is mainly due to difficulty breathing while feeding. It is recommended to pay close attention to your baby’s condition in daily life and take some measures, such as breastfeeding more often, drinking warm water and fresh fruit juice, and eating bananas. Avoid greasy foods that may cause heat in the body, and supplementing with zinc and calcium can aid in physical development. This kind of situation usually improves gradually as the baby grows older.
