Question
How to deal with a baby who refuses breastfeeding?
Answer
Baby refusing breastfeeding may be caused by weak spleen and stomach, often accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, stomachache, hiccups, loss of appetite, and abdominal distension after meals. In this case, consider using traditional Chinese medicine Xiangsha Liujun Wan for regulation, which may help improve the symptoms. At the same time, the baby’s diet should be kept light and avoid spicy foods. Generally speaking, for breastfed babies, weight gain of about 30 grams per day and a height increase of about 2 centimeters per month are expected for babies around 2 to 3 months old. For babies who previously had a larger milk intake, the feeding interval may be extended.
