  Don't worry too much about your baby's low milk intake now. You can first measure your baby's weight, observe whether their weight will decrease, whether their complexion will deteriorate, and carefully observe their mental state. If the baby is very energetic and doing well in all aspects, it may be due to the baby's relatively small appetite, which is normal.

  If a baby has poor digestion, their appetite will also decrease. Poor digestion can easily lead to baby food accumulation, making it difficult for the baby to digest and reduce appetite. Some babies are prone to constipation at this time, so it is necessary to regulate their digestive system, reduce the amount of milk they consume, and increase the frequency of feeding. After feeding, drink some water to help the baby's digestive system gradually adapt.

  The amount of milk a baby eats needs to be judged based on their own situation, and eating too much is also disadvantageous. It is recommended to feed the baby according to their physical needs, develop the habit of eating regularly and in moderation, and also take the baby to exercise. It is recommended to do more abdominal massages to improve the baby's gastrointestinal motility.
