Question
My baby is premature, and I’ve been worried about her condition from the start. Recently, she’s been experiencing a series of issues, and I’m very concerned, afraid that the situation might worsen. What should I do if my two-month-old baby suddenly stops breastfeeding?
Answer
You can try reversing the position, for example, keeping the baby in the position of feeding from the left breast but moving her to the right breast. Since it’s similar to the previous position, the baby may not notice any change. If this still doesn’t work, it’s time to consider whether there might be physiological reasons. You can seek help from a doctor or a childcare professional. Babies are vulnerable to neonatal diseases, so parents must take their child to the hospital immediately for treatment and avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it’s important to closely observe any changes in their child’s condition and do everything possible to help treat the disease promptly.
