Question
Based on your description, your three-month-old baby has been on mixed feeding for about a month and has been drinking less milk. Today, they only consumed a total of about 100ml of milk throughout the day. They have a one-hour weak time in the morning and afternoon, with no bloating and no issues with their mouth. They are taking probiotics, and you have tried using powder and oral liquid. What could be the reason for this, and how can the situation be alleviated?
Answer
According to your description, this could be due to weak spleen and stomach function and poor digestion. It is recommended that during feeding, do not overfeed to avoid indigestion. At the same time, give the baby some warm water and try gently touching the baby’s navel area in a clockwise direction to aid digestion. If this situation recurs frequently, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a routine blood test of trace elements to determine the specific cause and treat the symptoms accordingly. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
