Question
A three-month-old baby who used to eat every three hours, consuming about 150 milliliters each time, recently only took 30 milliliters during each feeding and was unwilling to eat properly. What could be the reasons for this situation, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Infants may develop feeding aversions due to overindulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods. It is recommended to provide a quiet environment for the baby to defecate, allowing them to do so comfortably and happily. Since the human digestive system is affected by emotions, excessive tension can lead to decreased appetite. Therefore, when the baby is defecating, parents should avoid loud talking and should not play with the baby to prevent emotional tension.
