How to deal with a child's poor appetite at six and a half months

Patient's question:

Doctor; The child is six and a half months old. A few days ago, they liked eating rice porridge quite a bit, but recently whenever I try to feed them, they cry. They are happier when they don't eat. There is white coating on their tongue. What could be the reason? They are only eating my breast milk. But I'm worried I don't produce enough milk, so they might not get enough nutrition. I've been thinking about weaning them in the past two days. They haven't eaten formula for four months, but I don't know if it's appropriate to wean them now.

Doctor's answer:

This situation may be caused by common pediatric digestive disorders. In addition to receiving standard treatment for pediatric digestive diseases, patients need to consult experts more often and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that they can achieve good therapeutic effects.
