Question
Babies may seem to struggle during feeding and fail to achieve a sense of satisfaction. What could be the reasons behind this?
Answer
When babies encounter difficulties during feeding, it might be due to insufficient suckling strength or an underdeveloped digestive system. As they grow older and become stronger, these issues usually improve gradually. If a baby continues to feel unsatisfied with eating, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate assessment and guidance. Avoid forcing non-lacteal foods on a baby who has vomited, and instead, offer milk or soup first and observe their reaction. If the baby has a good appetite, you can choose to provide soft, easily digestible foods.
