Question

What should I do if my 3-month-old baby refuses to eat?

Answer

If a 5-month-old child experiences a recurrence of loss of appetite, it’s advisable to consider the cause. It is suggested to give the child oral medication like Mami Love for nourishment, and always pay attention to keeping the child’s abdomen warm. You can also massage the child’s abdomen to reduce gastrointestinal twisting and absorption issues. Additionally, you can supplement the child with zinc, as zinc deficiency can lead to the recurrence of loss of appetite. Excessive sweating in children is generally considered a sign of calcium or vitamin D deficiency. It is recommended to administer digestion therapy to the child, and if concerned, you can take the child to the hospital for tests of trace elements and vitamin D levels in the body.
