General information about poor drinking
Breast milk is rich in vitamins, minerals and so-called immunoglobulins. These are natural antibodies that make your baby’s immune system fit against infectious diseases. Some babies have an aversion to breast milk, which is referred to as a drinking disorder. It’s also possible that drinking makes your child tired and too exhausted to get enough milk or throwing up the important food after drinking.
In any case, you should definitely consult your midwife or pediatrician if you have difficulty drinking!
