Question

Why does my baby cry and refuse to breastfeed when I have to hold it upside down, and it cries as soon as it touches the nipple?

Answer

This could be due to discomfort in the child’s spleen and stomach, mainly caused by indigestion or food retention. Pay close attention to the baby’s bowel movement characteristics and abdominal condition, and report information to your doctor in a timely manner to determine the cause. Also, check for any abnormalities in the baby’s navel or abdomen, as frequently crying babies may experience abdominal pain or hernia.
