Patient's question:
The baby doesn't drink thin porridge now, and doesn't consume much breast milk either. Whatever is given is only eaten a couple of bites and then rejected. How can this be improved?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons why babies may have poor appetite and refuse to eat. For example, indigestion can lead to a loss of appetite, or a lack of trace elements may also cause it. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if there is a deficiency in zinc. If zinc deficiency is found, zinc supplements can be given to the child. Alternatively, it can be checked how the baby's digestion is going, and probiotics can be taken to regulate it.
