Question
My baby is almost four months old, and recently, her milk intake has been very unstable. She only consumes about 40 milliliters each time during the day, and the feeding time is very long. What should I do?
Answer
Your baby is almost four months old, and breast milk is still the best food for her at this age. I suggest you eat more galactogogue foods to ensure an adequate supply of milk to meet your baby’s needs. If the milk supply is still insufficient, you can mix in some formula milk, but it’s best to keep breast milk as the main source and formula as a supplement. When preparing formula milk, be careful not to stir too much to avoid creating too many bubbles, which can affect your baby’s feeding.
