Question

The baby is almost eleven months old and doesn’t want to eat milk recently, eating only about half of the usual amount per meal, and also doesn’t like to drink water, but will eat fruits and biscuits. What could be the reason for this? What should I do?

Answer

The most common issue in children is indigestion. If the baby shows thick tongue coating, milk residue in the stool, or a decrease in appetite, it’s important to pay close attention. You can try feeding the baby in small amounts several times a day, giving them oral Gastric Digestive Oral Liquid or probiotics, and nourishing them for two to three days; they will gradually improve. Don’t force-feed the baby when they don’t want to eat; give them a break to let their gastrointestinal tract move properly.
