The reason why newborns take a long time to eat milk is considered to be related to physiological and pathological factors, such as short tongue tie, hypothyroidism and so on.
1. Physiological factors: if the baby has not been fed for a long time, it may be due to excessive hunger, so the symptom of prolonged breastfeeding will occur, and usually does not need special treatment.
2. Pathologic factors:
(1) Tongue tie is too short: if the tongue tie of newborn babies is too short, it may lead to the obstacle of wrapping the nipple, so there will be a long time of breastfeeding.
(2) Hypothyroidism: it may also cause feeding difficulties in newborns, which in turn may lead to symptoms similar to those mentioned above.
There may be other reasons for the long breastfeeding time of newborn babies. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
