Dear All,

My baby boy is 5 mths old & normally is a very cheerful .. always smiling child who doesnt cry much.

For past 1 week, my husband & I (staying alone in kenya) have noticed that he has becum very quiet, he doesnt play or laugh aloud anymore, his always ready smiles are also absent.
He had a mild cold & cough & we are giving him medicines for that but in the past even if he had a cough he was still cheerful .

I am very worried abt his sudden behaviour chnage. His solid eating too has undergone change. he is no longer eating his 3 solid meals a day happily & sometimes cries at evenings, exerts pressure on his feet & tries to move.

PLS ADVISE as to what can the matter be with him & what i can do to help. The qlty of peds here is terrible so no point of visiting docs.

Any one experienced something like this?

Thanks

khp replied. Hi,
My baby is 5 months old. she used to be very cheerful and always babbled a lot between her 2nd-4th month. Than she became very quiet. My husband and I were concerned still we would play with her and talk to her as usual. Since past few days we have been noticing that she is screaming a lot and babbles too. We started giving her solid food once a day for past 2 weeks and she will turn 5 months on the 8th. So, don't be concern if your baby is not having 3 solid meals. As long as he is not crying or hungry.

I hope this helps.
