Question
My son is four and a half months old and is formula-fed. In recent days, his milk intake has increased, changing from every three hours to every five or six hours. He had milk at 10:30 AM today, and it’s now 3:30 PM before he eats again. It’s been four hours since his last feeding, and he cries every time I try to feed him. What could be the reason?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby is four months old and is formula-fed, and has recently been experiencing poor feeding conditions, which may be due to indigestion. It is recommended that you feed the baby according to his needs and avoid forcing feedings. You can give the baby a small amount of water and administer Bifidobacterium infantis probiotics to regulate his intestines. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish you and your baby good health!
