A. sometimes less feeding is common. secondly it may be due to gas in stomach. No need to get stressed Don't overfeed ur baby  Keep a watch on urine output  Baby should pass minimum urine 8 -10 times per day  Burp properly after each and every feed for atleast 10 min or till baby take 4 burp  Feed ur baby as per baby's demand only

A. A 2-month-old baby typically has a consistent appetite for breast milk or formula. If you notice a sudden and significant loss of appetite in your baby, it can be a cause for concern, and you should consult with a pediatrician. Loss of appetite in infants can be a sign of various issues, including illness, discomfort, or feeding difficulties. Some potential reasons for loss of appetite in a 2-month-old baby include: 1. Illness: Babies can lose their appetite when they are unwell, whether it's due to a mild infection, cold, or more serious health issues. 2. Reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can cause discomfort during and after feeding, leading to feeding difficulties. 3. Sensitivities: Some babies may have sensitivities or allergies to certain foods or components of breast milk or formula. 4. Digestive Issues: Constipation or other digestive problems can make feeding uncomfortable for the baby. 5. Overfeeding: Overfeeding can lead to discomfort and a loss of interest in eating. 6. Pain or Discomfort: Teething or other sources of pain or discomfort can affect a baby's appetite. Always pay attention to your baby's feeding patterns and behavior, and if you have concerns about a sudden loss of appetite, contact your pediatrician. They can assess your baby's health and provide guidance on how to address any underlying issues.
