My 3.5-month-old refuses to drink formula or water. I’ve tried many methods but nothing works. I need advice.
The child has been crying non-stop recently and does not eat much. This may be due to deficiency of both Qi and Blood leading to insufficient milk.

My 4.5-month-old baby’s milk intake has suddenly decreased, from 800 milliliters a day to 400-500 milliliters, and although they are in good spirits, they are not focused on nursing and sometimes kick their feet. I’m worried if this is normal and what I should do?
My baby is three months old and has been frequently experiencing bloating in the stomach recently. Feeding time is not going smoothly, and sometimes air is inhaled, leading to milk regurgitation. The stool looks like coco bread. This may be due to cold exposure or improper diet, resulting in poor absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract or gastrointestinal cold. It is recommended to start with oral probiotics for treatment, and if the symptoms do not improve within 1-2 days, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Also, it is crucial to prevent cold exposure. Wishing my baby a speedy recovery.

My baby is four and a half months old and cannot cross her arms. When I hold her against my chest, if I intentionally pull her hands together, there is resistance from her shoulder and elbow joints, and she cries. There may be high muscle tone, but I cannot be sure if it is cerebral palsy. I need to take her to a pediatric neurorehabilitation department for a comprehensive checkup to see if there are any abnormal reflexes, thumb adduction, stiff feet, external rotation of the upper and lower limbs, etc. If necessary, a brain CT scan may also be required. Even if there are abnormalities, it cannot be definitively diagnosed as cerebral palsy; it can only be said that there is a central coordination disorder. The golden period for rehabilitation treatment is before six months of age, so it is important to get an early checkup and diagnosis.
