Question
A four-month-old baby today refuses to nurse and take a nap, and cries intensely. What could be the matter? I held her on the bus today, but I don’t think she caught a cold. What should I do?
Answer
The baby may not be able to express her feelings with words, so she can only convey information through crying. This might indicate that the baby is not feeling well. It is best to take the baby to a pediatrician for a check-up. Additionally, recall if you took the baby out recently, as sometimes babies may have temporary stress responses due to an overreaction to a scare. I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
