Question
The baby often becomes tired after breastfeeding for just a few mouthfuls, needing to rest before feeding again and not actively seeking milk. There is an outward bulging of the eyes, and when awake, the baby’s eyes lack focus and are not concentrated. The weight gain is slow.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may be experiencing weak suction, leading to insufficient milk intake. It is recommended to strengthen nutrition during breastfeeding by consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and drinking more soup to increase milk supply. Considering the possibility of malnutrition or slow growth in the baby, it is suggested to take the baby to a doctor for a check-up as soon as possible and undergo appropriate treatment and nutritional supplementation under a doctor’s guidance.
