Question
Why is my baby not eating or drinking, as he has been very disobedient and crying a lot lately? We’ve even gone to the hospital and had checks done, but nothing seems to help. What could be wrong with my baby not eating or drinking?
Answer
First, cultivate the habit of eating. Set a fixed time and place to eat with the family. Don’t eat while playing or force feeding. Reduce snacking. The interval between meals should be at least four hours. The total eating time should be about half an hour. Alternatively, you can feed half of the meal first, then let him eat the rest himself. Take it slow. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention to not foster a picky eater in their child and have a balanced diet.
