Question
Does gastrointestinal discomfort during lactation affect the baby’s nursing?
Answer
According to the information provided, if you have poor gastrointestinal function but mild symptoms, it generally will not affect your baby. However, if you experience severe nausea or vomiting, it may affect your baby, even leading to baby’s vomiting. Pay close attention to your baby’s reaction after feeding and the appearance and color of their stool. If the rumbling sound in their belly changes to nausea or vomiting, it is advisable to pause breastfeeding until the symptoms improve.
