What causes loss of appetite in infants?
Patient: My 4 month old baby use to eat 5 oz every 3-4 hours but the last week he will only eat 2-3 oz and he is really restless during the feed.He move his head away from the bottle and cries after 2 oz.I am worried about him losing weight.He is happy and smiles a lot but never seems hungry. Doctor: hi...this is totally normal with infants...usually with every Change in milestone their feeding habits changes ...unless there is any gross weight loss nothing is to be worried ...feed him on demand...this will change in few days and he will start taking feeds as usual
