Question
My baby is four months old, weighing about 11.5 pounds. He has poor appetite and is reluctant to eat breast milk and rice noodles. The baby’s mother produces about 500 to 600 ml of milk, feeding him exclusively on breast milk. There are no obvious adverse conditions, but the baby is scared to eat and is also afraid of rice noodles. He cries a lot before taking his afternoon nap every day. He has tried Gerber, but there has been no improvement. Time of onset: Laboratory examination results:
Answer
Based on your baby’s age, a four-month-old should weigh approximately 13.6 pounds. Your baby’s weight is on the lighter side, which may be related to improper feeding and insufficient nutrition. Since your baby has been exclusively breastfed for four months and now shows poor appetite and reluctance to eat breast milk, this may be due to digestive discomfort or gastrointestinal issues. I suggest giving your baby some Mommy Love, one bottle per day, dissolved in warm water and fed to the baby to nourish his gastrointestinal function.
