Question

Today, my baby’s milk intake has decreased suddenly. Normally, she can drink 80-100 ml at a time, but today she only drank 60 ml. She has been sleeping during the day. After waking up to suck on my breast, she falls back asleep. She spends almost the whole day sleeping. She has shivered three times today, coughed twice, and feels like there is mucus blocking her throat and nose. When she is in a light sleep, she keeps making noises like ‘huff huff’, and her mouth and nose are making ‘huff huff’ sounds. When she sleeps deeply, she is quiet. What’s wrong with my baby? She has lost her appetite and is lethargic.

Answer

Based on your description, your baby may be showing symptoms of a cold. She has sneezing and coughing, and feels like there is mucus in her throat and nose, which would make her feel unwell and lose her appetite. Monitor your baby’s temperature and encourage her to drink more water when she is not feeling well. This will help her body recover. The advice above is for the question “What’s wrong with my baby who keeps making ‘huff huff’ noises with their mouth and nose?” I hope it helps you, and I wish you good health!
