Question
My baby is 5 days old today. When she was born, her crying sound was softer than other newborns, and she only cried for a short while before stopping. After about 48 hours, she doesn’t take any milk at all. Therefore, I want to know the analysis of the possible causes for my baby’s refusal to breastfeed?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to help you with this; a baby’s reduced milk intake may be related to intracranial hemorrhage. Usually, medication can improve microcirculation, and the baby’s blood can also be absorbed by the body itself. If there is significant bleeding in critical areas, it may lead to sequelae. Treatment should be coordinated with a hospital, and a CT scan should be performed 1-2 weeks after treatment. A follow-up CT scan can be done after 7 days of medication to see if the condition has improved.
