Question
Lately, my baby’s breastfeeding intake seems to be decreasing. What could be the cause, and are there any solutions?
Answer
Based on your description, the decreased breastfeeding intake in your baby might be due to dyspepsia. This is often a result of weakened spleen and stomach function, leading to reduced ability to digest and absorb food. You can try spinal massage therapy to promote blood circulation and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Additionally, consider using some Chinese herbal remedies that help regulate the spleen and stomach, as well as aid in digestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take your baby to a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, pay attention to your baby’s balanced diet, avoiding overfeeding or feeding food that is difficult to digest.
