Question
Why does my baby eat a lot of formula milk but still feels hungry and keeps crying?
Answer
If your baby eats a lot of formula milk yet still seems hungry, it may not be because they’re eating too much, but rather due to indigestion. It’s suggested to give the baby some probiotics and monitor if there’s any improvement over time. If there’s no improvement, consider giving the baby some products like Mommy Love or Chang Le Kang, and also check the dietary situation of the breastfeeding mother if you’re combining feeding. The baby’s indigestion might be related to the mother’s diet, so you can give the baby more water, eat some traditional Chinese medicine like Pian Ke Xin Granules, and undergo acupressure therapy. If there’s no improvement, it’s advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the cause and carefully care for the baby, avoiding any adverse stimulation and appropriately supplementing with calcium, which can include drinking some honey water.
