Question
A newborn has difficulty breastfeeding and sleeps for long periods, and doesn’t interact much with adults. Is this normal?
Answer
For children experiencing difficulty breastfeeding, oral or injectable medications can be considered, such as brain nerve nutrients, muscle relaxants, and blood-activating drugs. These medications help repair brain cell membrane damage caused by trauma, hemorrhage, or hypoxia, protect nerve cells, enhance neural excitation conduction, and improve learning and memory functions. Additionally, drugs that promote DNA synthesis in brain cells, improve brain cell energy metabolism, and enhance brain function can be chosen, as well as actively supplementing a variety of vitamins. In some cases, injectable preparations such as cerebroactive substance, brain polypeptide, acetylglutamic acid, and cytidine diphosphate choline can also be considered.
