What should I do if the child refuses to breastfeed?

Patient's question:

The baby is four months old now, weighing about 11.5 jin. The appetite is not good, and the baby is quite restrained when feeding. Junling Tianmian's milk intake is approximately 500~600ml, and it is exclusively breastfed. There are no obvious adverse conditions, but the baby is reluctant to eat and even avoids eating rice powder. Every night before the baby sleeps or takes a nap, it cries for a long time. The baby has taken He Sheng Yuan, but there has been no stability.
Time of onset: Detailed examination results: What kind of assistance is needed: Is the baby's weight not meeting the standard? Is there any method to improve the baby's appetite?

Doctor's answer:

According to your baby's age, the standard weight for a four-month-old baby should be around 13.6 jin. Your baby is lighter in weight, which may be related to improper feeding and insufficient nutrition. Your baby is four months old and has been exclusively breastfed. However, they have poor appetite and are reluctant to eat, which may be related to digestive issues and stomach discomfort. It is recommended that you give your baby some Mamei (a probiotic supplement), one drop per day. Dissolve it in warm water and feed it to your baby. This can help regulate your baby's gastrointestinal function.
