Question
Is it normal for newborns to drink less milk than they did a few days ago?
Answer
Newborn milk intake can vary due to individual differences after birth, and this situation may be influenced by various factors, including the child’s stage of growth and development, their appetite on a given day, and their medical condition. Therefore, it is not possible to simply judge whether the change in milk intake is normal. It is important to observe the child’s overall growth and development. If the child’s weight is stable and their growth curve is normal, even if the milk intake is reduced on one or a few days, it may still fall within the normal range. However, if there are any concerns about the child’s milk intake or growth, it is advisable to consult with a physician for individualized advice and assessment.
