Mom of a 2 yr 6 m old boy2 years ago
Q.

#AskTheExpert My baby was born preterm and is 7 days old now. She is able to latch but unable to suck and take feed. What could be the reason? Is that she is still very weak? The pediatric said she should be fed every 2 hours, perhaps forcefully if required. However, she doesn't feel hungry and when I try to force feed.. She just doesn't open her mouth.
