Question
The baby is 130 days old and is being breastfed. For the first two months, the baby’s weight increased from 5.7 pounds to over 8 pounds. However, in the following two months, the weight only increased by a little over 1 pound, now totaling 10 pounds. The daily milk intake is less than 500 milliliters, sometimes even only 280 milliliters, but the baby’s mood is good.
Answer
During breastfeeding, it is essential to ensure that the baby receives sufficient and high-quality sleep to enhance the quality of breast milk. When the baby consumes high-quality breast milk, it can better promote growth and development, avoiding slow growth. Neglecting the quality and duration of sleep during breastfeeding may lead to a decrease in breast milk quality, affecting the baby’s growth and development.
