Question

My 3-month-old baby’s stomach is rumbling, and he doesn’t want to eat anything. He was premature by one month, fed on formula milk exclusively, and only drinks 120 milliliters each time. He also sleeps lightly during his afternoon nap. Is this normal?

Answer

Based on your description, if a premature baby exhibits the aforementioned symptoms, it’s important to pay close attention. A preliminary consideration might be weak spleen and stomach, and it’s recommended to consult traditional Chinese medicine for diagnosis and nourishment. For the situation described, I suggest taking the baby to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for nourishment, such as dietary adjustments, pediatric acupuncture treatment, etc. If possible, breastfeeding can help lower the baby’s body resistance. These are my suggestions for the question ‘What to do about a 3-month-old baby’s stomach rumbling’. I hope this helps and wish you health!
