Question
Is newborn baby over-feeding a pathological phenomenon? How should it be handled? Moreover, my baby often sleeps during the day and cries at night, how can I correct this?
Answer
Newborns have a shallow stomach and a small capacity, so overfeeding or feeding too quickly can easily cause over-feeding. It is recommended that parents control the feeding speed of the baby, hold the baby upright after feeding to burp out the gas, and place the baby in a head-high, feet-low position to prevent over-feeding. In addition, poor digestion or intolerance to feeding may lead to over-feeding, and probiotics like Bao Le An can be used to regulate intestinal flora and promote digestion. If over-feeding occurs frequently without improvement, accompanied by lack of vitality, medical treatment should be sought promptly to rule out infections and other diseases.
