Hi

My daughter is 3.5 months old. She was very good at feeding I did not have any problem she used to drink 3ounces every 2 hrs suddenly for past 1 week she is not drinking milk atall even if her tummy is empty she does not drink milk even if I force her she vomits otherwise she is normal and playing she cries but does not drink milk. Does anyone has any suggestion as to what to do for this.

I faced a similar situation when my baby was 3 months old. She would usually take 23-25 oz milk in 24 hrs but all of a sudden her appetite was gone. She would sleep a lot and when she would be awake she wud take just a little milk. I tried feeding her while she was sleeping. Though it didnt help much but she did take some 1-1 1/2 oz in her sleep. Howver she did drink 18-20 oz. Because she wsnt taking her complete diet at each time, it seemed that she wasnt drinking any milk at all and I too was very worried.This happened for 3-4 days.After that she was normal by herself.

I suggest that u try feeding your baby more frequently, every hour if need be. Let her take little amounts each time till she is ready to take full diet again. Best of Luck
