Hi,
Treatment of Poor Feeding in Infants. Poor feeding that is caused by an infection will normally stop when the infection is treated. Treatment is the same for other causes of poor feeding. If you have been formula feeding your baby, your doctor may ask you to try breastfeeding to see if your baby feeds better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
