Why Is My Baby Rejecting Solid Food Intake?
Question: Hi doctor I have a 8 and half month old baby for last two days he is not taking any solids just closing mouth wen I am feeding inspite of that if I feed one spoon he is giving reaction as if food is very bitter and I am giving only breast milk and he is longing very much for breast milk but I am not getting sufficient milk tell me some remedy
Brief Answer:
Start probiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Infants are prone to mild gastritis and enteritis which leads to short term aversion to feeds.
I would recommend you to start a probiotic such as Enterogermina to restore normal healthy gut flora. Continue with breastfeeding and keep trying complementary feeds. Give him more liquids such as soups, buttermilk, lemonade, cardamom water along with fruits.
Hopefully he will be fine in next 2 days.
Take care
