Question

Hello, my baby is nine months old but still has a very small appetite, as if he doesn’t like to eat anything. He also had persistent diarrhea and abdominal pain from two to three months to about five months. Starting at six months, it turned into constipation. What should I do? Also, the sleep quality is poor, and he often wakes up. What’s the matter? Thank you.

Answer

Hello, I’m glad to help you with your question: There could be several reasons why your baby doesn’t want to eat, such as overfeeding or not feeling hungry. Feeding irregularly; after the baby is one month old, the feeding frequency should gradually decrease to establish a regular feeding schedule. Gradually add in complementary foods. It is suggested that poor sleep quality and frequent waking are often due to calcium deficiency. It’s advisable to actively check and confirm this so that the baby can better accept complementary foods.
