Question
Should newborns have their nipples pinched? I’m not sure if he has this condition, and he’s not feeling well either.
Answer
No need to pinch the nipples. You can try feeding him congee with crucian carp or pork trotter soup, and also make sure to let the baby suckle at your breast frequently. Taking vitamin E, 2-3 times a day for three consecutive days, can also be effective. Additionally, you can apply traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as using 15g of Wangbuluohxing and 9g of Tongcao, along with a moderate amount of pork trotter, simmered in a mild soup.
