Neonatal feeding difficulties?

4-6 months is the sensitive period of infant taste development, infants choose to eat with their own taste. With the increase of milk and complementary food, the infant's digestive ability is insufficient; In addition, improper feeding causes loss of appetite or anorexia. Under normal circumstances, loss of appetite is a kind of self-protection. By reducing the amount of food, intestinal function, liver and kidney function can be restored. The majority of infants after 10-15 days, anorexia will disappear naturally.

Some infants' appetite recovery is slow or their parents are too anxious to take forced feeding, increase the concentration of milk, and increase the frequency of feeding at night, which are not conducive to the recovery of appetite.
