What Causes Loss Of Appetite To A 3 Month Baby Having High Palate?
My sister has a 3 month old baby who has a high palate. She's not eating enough or at all on some days. She gone to many doctors and LCs but they still cant find out what's the issue. She has lost weight. No fever, diarrhea. When she does eat its about 2- 5 oz. Any recommendations?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. I have a few questions and will suggest few possibilities.
Questions:
1. What was the birth weight and what is the current weight
2. How is the attaining of developmental milestones
3. Is the stool oily and floats in the pan
4. Is there any colour change in the hair or skin
5. Is there any history of recurrent serious infections
Possibilities:
1. Malabsorption - can happen without diarrhea too.
2. Micro Nutrient deficiency
3. Immunodeficiency either primary or acquired.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
