Patient's question:
The baby was eating normally just two days ago, but suddenly stopped eating on the third day. Even when the stomach made gurgling sounds, it still refused to eat. It has been sleeping deeply lately and playing, but doesn't seem hungry. For three days now, it hasn't shown any signs of wanting to breastfeed. (Breastfeeding)Hello, what could be the reason for this?
Doctor's answer:
Children in this age group may have anorexia for two reasons: one is due to a lack of trace elements, and the other is caused by poor digestion. If there is no deficiency of trace elements, you can give the child digestive aid medication! Have the child's blood tested for trace elements, and supplement what is lacking to stabilize the condition. This is the advice for the question "Why does a 46-day-old baby suddenly refuse to breastfeed?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
