Question
The baby cries while eating milk at night, one side eating and the other crying, kicking with her feet, and then stops eating and just cries for a long time. Why? I thought she had a stomachache, so I gently massaged her, but found that she cried even louder. It was all fine before, and it was fine during the day, but it’s like this for two nights now. I have a lot of milk, and the baby’s mouth is not broken. Previous treatment and effectiveness: didn’t care. How to assist: What could be the reason? The baby now has a high fever, cries, and doesn’t want to breastfeed.
Answer
A baby with a high fever, crying, and not wanting to breastfeed may be related to abdominal pain, indigestion, or food accumulation. First, check for oral ulcers or blisters as possible infectious factors. You can give the baby some absorption aids likeJianpi San (tonifying the spleen powder) and take products like Mammy Love (a probiotic supplement) to adjust the balance of flora and alleviate abdominal pain. At the same time, you can massage the baby’s abdomen clockwise to promote intestinal peristalsis. If abdominal pain persists without relief and there is bloody stool, seek medical attention promptly to rule out intestinal diseases such as intussusception. Additionally, pay attention to any symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea and consider giving antiemetics or digestive aids.
