Question
A 43-day-old baby drinks only up to 60 milliliters of formula, and sometimes as little as 40 milliliters. Is this normal? How about the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance is required?
Answer
Is this situation normal? It is recommended to carefully check if the child is deficient in zinc or has poor digestion. You can try giving the child oral gluconate zinc andJianpi San oral liquid(spleen-nourishing oral liquid). To ensure the child eats properly, parents should also pay attention to correct feeding methods. Some children do not like to eat, and parents become anxious. In order to persuade the child to eat, some parents use toys to guide them during meals, and some allow the child to eat while playing. Overindulgence in the past and not understanding correct feeding methods are also one of the reasons why children do not like to eat.
