Question
What to do if a twenty-day-old baby drinks formula too fast?
Answer
- Drink plenty of water, absolutely plenty of water. You can add a milk partner to the formula or water, using one packet daily. Do not consume formula, breast milk, and calcium together; they should be taken two hours apart. Otherwise, it may lead to constipation and affect the absorption of milk and calcium. It won’t be effective and could have severe side effects. 2) For babies breastfed by their mothers, pay attention to adjusting the dietary structure. Eat lighter and drink more water. 3) Give the baby an abdominal clockwise massage twice a day, for 5 to 10 minutes each time. 4) Consume more fruits and vegetable juices. Do not drink milk too fast each time; dilute the formula if needed.
