Question
The baby is not eating enough milk, leading to malnutrition. What are the methods to improve it?
Answer
Insufficient breast milk intake in infants may be due to weak spleen and stomach function, affecting nutrient absorption. It is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine ‘Xiangsha Liujun Wan’ to regulate the spleen and stomach, enhancing digestion and absorption. Additionally, maintain a light diet in daily meals, avoid giving the baby spicy or irritating foods, and ensure adequate water intake. These measures can help improve the infant’s nutritional status. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek professional medical advice.
