Answer
Based on your description, your baby is now 40 days old and has recently experienced a decrease in milk intake during the day. The baby often falls asleep or becomes dazed after eating a little, then cries or demands more milk shortly after. This pattern repeats. Even when the baby sleeps, they don’t stay asleep for long and wake up soon. Previously, the baby would drink 150 milliliters per feeding, but now it’s around 90 milliliters. It is suggested that you observe your baby’s condition and consider adding yeast tablets to milk or water to aid digestion. Also, pay attention to the child’s oral hygiene, maintain a regular daily routine, keep up with vaccinations, keep the stomach warm, and ensure good ventilation in the room. For breastfeeding mothers, reduce the amount of milk per feeding but ensure regular and quantitative feeding. Wishing you and your baby a healthy growth!
