The younger the baby is, the less mature their immune system is. Therefore, during the baby's growth process, it is common to find that the baby is always sick. Coughing is very common, but some babies do not eat after coughing. So why do babies cough and not eat?
It is also normal for babies to skip meals after coughing. It is important to diagnose whether the cough is caused by a cold. If so, a cold can also affect the baby's digestive function. After all, during illness, various organs in the body cannot function properly, which can cause the intestines to not absorb or digest. Once the intestines do not work, it can lead to the baby not wanting to eat.
When the baby coughs, you can boil more pear water for the baby to drink and continue to observe the baby's appetite. If the baby has been losing appetite, you can go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some appetite increasing drugs, or give the baby probiotics to drink. Probiotics can regulate the intestines, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, and thus enhance the baby's appetite.
If the baby doesn't like to eat, parents should not force feeding the baby, as this will only backfire. If the baby wants to eat, make some for them. If the baby doesn't want to eat, don't force it, and give them more hydration. In addition, try to give your baby rice porridge or rice soup and other liquid foods.
