Question
A five-month-old baby who used to enjoy drinking formula milk suddenly refuses to take it, even when offered with a spoon. Could this be the onset of anorexia?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing indigestion, which is causing food accumulation. It is recommended to pay attention to the diet, avoid overfeeding, increase the baby’s water intake, and consider giving a pediatric digestive aid oral liquid for medication. Additionally, feeding the baby in small, frequent amounts can aid in digestion and absorption. Also, make sure the baby stays warm. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health.
