Patient's question:
The baby is three months old and being breastfed. Since yesterday, it has been refusing to nurse, only eating a small amount when very hungry. Today, the stool is green, and I don't know what the reason is. What should I do? Originally, at 9 a.m. yesterday morning, the baby was nursing as usual, sweetly and normally. Could the refusal to nurse have been caused by this?Doctor's answer:
His stool is green. Moreover, he might be refusing your milk because drinking it makes him uncomfortable. So he rejects the breast milk. Therefore, the first thing to check is whether you have been eating something wrong. For example, eating too many vegetables and fruits. When my baby was little, he also experienced this. If I ate something wrong, he couldn't accept it. He would refuse to eat breast milk if he felt uncomfortable. It could be due to indigestion or intestinal infection. It is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
