Talk to Pediatrician on Baby Refusing To Eat
Asking for Other, Male, 0.10 years old, Bahawalpur
Hi, it has been almost 3 months my baby has lost his interest in food. In the start of 9th month he totally refused to take even a single bite for almost 20 days resulting in weight stagnation. He is not gaining any weight. His borth weight was 2.19kgs and now he is 7.74kgs. He used to be on 5th percentile but when he weight was measured on his 10th month competion his weight was even below that. Initially I thought you should not force feed a child so I let him be but now I think i dont have any other choice. Foods that i usually offer are egg, yogurt, potato and chicken hand mashed and mixed, pulses and rice, chips, suji with khajoor, oats.Nd mother feed. Please guide me what should i do about? Is there any way to jump his percentile?
is there any histroy of loose motions,loss of mile stones he achieved???
what about his general behaviour??
u shud go for some lab investigations first.

He had motions a couple of days ago but recovered soon so I am sure that's not an issue. Generally baby is quite active. Plays all day. He can stand by holding furniture and can also stand without support for a couple of seconds. He is babbling.
