Hi.. My Daughter Is 3 Months Old.. Since Last Week
Continue breastfeeding, check weight daily, check urine output.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query.
I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concern.
Please confirm that she is being breastfed and not being fed by bottle in the day time.
If your baby is passing urine at least 6 times in a day, then you need not worry too much.
Please check if there is any loss of weight in the last one week. If there is any loss of weight, then that is a clear indicator that she is not feeding well.
What is the consistency of stools and colour of the stools?
The most important cause for refusing to feed is bottle feeding, bottle feeding is the single most important cause that is responsible for infections in infants.
You must continue to breastfeed every 2 and half to 3 hours once or as and when she cries.
I had warned you earlier not to use bottle for feeding, and I had also insisted on breastfeeding, and now you are seeing why I had told you that.
If your daughter continues to refuse to feed, then you should consult your paediatrician and get her examined.
If needed, the paediatrician will prescribe an antibiotic.
If she is playful, and is consolable, and does not have foul smelling greenish or brownish stools, you can wait and see.
Please stop bottle feeding.
I hope you will understand at least now.
Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
Best wishes.
