Question
My nephew is eight months old and has a large milk intake, with short intervals between feedings. He often cries and fusses due to hunger. When he eats too much, he can’t digest it well, sometimes having several bowel movements a day, even diarrhea. He is thin. What are some good remedies?
Answer
Based on the situation of your nephew, I suggest that his mother pay attention to not let him eat too much at one time. Feed him smaller, more frequent meals and avoid letting him go hungry for too long before feeding. If there is an excessive milk supply, it is recommended to use the index finger and middle finger to pinch the areola during feeding to reduce the milk flow, so as not to let the baby eat too fast and quickly, which may cause indigestion due to air intake.
