Question

The newborn is just 24 days old, unfortunately, the family elders have given too much milk. How should this situation be handled?

Answer

When a newborn consumes an excessive amount of milk, they may feel overly full. It’s important to avoid feeding large quantities of milk at once and instead opt for small, frequent feedings to aid in digestion and absorption. Additionally, if the baby’s abdomen is gassy, it could be due to catching a cold, and you should observe for symptoms of diarrhea. If these symptoms arise, consider adjusting the feeding method and consult with a professional doctor’s opinion.
