Question
The newborn is 11 days old and is eating very little milk. They fall asleep after eating very little each time. If fed more, they will vomit. The blood sugar level is 4.4, and the hemoglobin is slightly high. Please inquire about possible causes and suggestions.
Answer
Based on your description, the baby is young and may feel tired while feeding, which could just be a normal situation of vomiting. It is recommended that you follow a regular breastfeeding schedule and ensure the baby gets enough fluids. Observe if the vomiting is normal, and after feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back until they burp before putting them down. The slightly high hemoglobin level currently has no clinical significance. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
