Question
Why does my baby not like to breastfeed and eat so little, leading to slow weight gain?
Answer
Problem Analysis: The baby’s condition may be due to insufficient nutritional intake, often caused by the baby eating too little or not eating properly. Suggestions:
- Administer oral medications such as Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactase, and Pepsin to help with digestion, and try probiotic preparations.
- Appropriate zinc supplementation can improve the baby’s digestive function.
- Milk-based foods should be the mainstay of the diet, avoiding giving the baby too much starch-based complementary foods.
