Generally speaking, during the first few months after birth, babies usually go to bed after eating and then eat again when they wake up. They usually start crying when they are hungry or defecate or urinate. As long as mothers take care of their babies' eating and sleeping problems, they are very well behaved. But if one day, the baby doesn't like to breastfeed much anymore, let's take a look. What's wrong with a four month old baby suddenly eating less?
Firstly, this may be a normal physiological phenomenon where the baby is experiencing physiological anorexia, and this is only a temporary situation that will not last for too long. After about one or two months, the appetite will naturally recover. At this time, mothers should relax and not be too nervous.
Secondly, when babies are 3-5 months old, they may not drink milk for as long as before, but their sucking speed is already faster than before. At this time, they are sucking a relatively large amount of milk, and even if they do not drink milk for a long time, they will still be able to inhale enough milk. Therefore, this situation can create the illusion for mothers that their children are not feeding enough.
Another point is that if the baby's mental condition is relatively good, and there are no symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea, mothers do not need to worry too much. As long as the baby's weight is normal and steadily increasing, it is healthy. Babies are not necessarily better if they are overweight, as being too overweight can affect their health. If there is no weight gain after one month, mothers should take their babies to see a doctor to see if there is any illness.
