Question
My 46-day-old baby suddenly stopped eating, even though they were feeding normally two days ago. By the third day, they wouldn’t eat at all. They make noises in their belly when awake, but don’t seem to want to eat during deep sleep, and they play normally. However, they don’t seem hungry and haven’t shown any interest in breastfeeding for three days. (Breastfeeding) What could be the matter?
Answer
For a baby of this age who suddenly refuses to eat, there are typically two possible causes: one is a deficiency in trace elements, and the other is possible indigestion. If there’s no confirmed deficiency in trace elements, consider giving the child digestive aid medication. It is also recommended to have the baby undergo a blood test to confirm if there is a deficiency in trace elements, and appropriate supplementation should be made based on the results.
