Why Is My 22 Week Old Refusing To Take More Than 5 Ounces?
I have a 22 week old boy who is refusing to take any more than 5 ounces at each feed he had previously been taking 7 or 8 but now point blank refuses anymore and cry’s if i try to feed him more than that. this has been going on for a week and I’m wondering if it is something to worry about. he is in good form wetting and soiling nappies. he has recently starting teething i thought that might be a cause or perhaps he wants solid’s ??

Hello,
After 4 month of age, any baby on top feeding can be started with supplementary diet.
If baby is active, passing urine regularly, having normal stools, having adequate weight gain, then it is normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
