Mom of a 4 yr 7 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

Hi! My baby is almost 4month old. Since last 4-5 days he is not taking breast feed properly. He start crying or getting cranky when I try to feed him. And coz of hunger he gets more cranky. I have to distract him/rock/swing him and then he accepts. He takes it well when he is asleep. His pee count and poop is normal. What should I do?

A. Hey of you’re sure that your baby does not have gas/colic, please check if his/her nose blockage. Since babies breathe from their nose while feeding, a blocked/stuffy nose can cause discomfort and improper feed hence he/she gets cranky :)

A. But I am worried why doesn’t he accept breastfeeding? Why is he refusing

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years ago

A. Crying of a Baby is mostly because of infantile colic and gas related discomfort which can be relieved by medicine like colicaid /gastica drops. other reasons could be nasal blockage, ear pain, diaper rash and more which needs tvbo be ruled out and managed accordingly .
