What causes a decrease in the appetite?
Patient: hi, im feeding my baby (24 weeks) milk and solids but for the past 3/4 days his appitite has decreased massively, today he has had 4oz s @ 8am, half a jar of apple and cranberry breakfast @ 11am and only 2oz s at 13:30, normally he has between 5/7oz s and a whole jar in the morning and one in the evening, is this normal and should i be worried? thanks for your help Doctor: Hello,This feeding habit for last 3 to 4 days is also normal. Baby has fluctuations on feeding habit during infancy.If it persists for longer time or you noticed decrease in weight, activity, regression of milestone or any illness following it, then needs to consult doctor.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
