Is it normal for the baby not to eat?

Patient's question:

A 100-day-old baby has not eaten for 45 hours and has not urinated—is this normal? The baby is in good spirits and is also taking normal naps, playing, and shows no symptoms of a cold or discomfort.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, a 100-day-old baby who has not eaten or urinated for 45 hours is considered abnormal. Especially the prolonged lack of urination indicates potential kidney problems, such as urethral blockage or kidney stones, which can lead to impaired excretion and, in severe cases, self-poisoning. It is recommended to provide sufficient digestive plain water to enhance metabolism and maintain adequate hydration in the body. Appropriate amounts of milk or sugar water should also be given.
