not feeding properly

0 Recommendations

My daughter sarah is six months and a week actual (8 weeks early) is not eating properly from yesterday. Otherwise she looks normal. Also she hasnt pooped today. she was taking 4 oz of milk 5-6 times in 24 hrs but now she took only 4 feed 2.5 oz.
is that matter of concern?

Constipation

Also she is putting her fingers and trying to bite on it. may be its teething.

Constipation can make your baby feel bloated and full..hence not wanting to eat.Try gving her a warm bath in no soap, and then if that doestn work you can try some prune or pear juice diluted with some water or just in her formula or add it to breastmilk if you are BF.

Lots of remedies if she doest produce a BM soon..

I dont think it's something to worry about. My daughter has her off days too with eating. Sometimes she is just too sleepy to eat or something.

As far as pooing, the docs have told us as long as its not longer than 48 hours. Sometimes my daughter goes longer than 48 hours before having a bowel movement. They told us as long as she is not uncomfortable or seems bothered, then its ok.

I'm sure tomorrow she will be back on track!

Ya thanks she is now ok she pooped early morning and took 4 oz :)

poop is a wonderful thing when it happens!!! Glad to hear she's back up and running :)
