Question
What are the reasons why babies cry while breastfeeding?
Answer
In the case of premature babies, crying while suckling at the breast may be due to thrush or stomatitis. It is recommended to treat with iodine glycerin ointment and consider taking the baby to an oral medicine department for examination. At the same time, the baby should be placed in a lateral position to avoid the risk of aspiration pneumonia or suffocation. Additionally, lying on the side helps expel amniotic fluid from the stomach, reducing the occurrence of complications such as vomiting.
