A. Hai good afternoon !! If baby suddenly not taking feed every two to three hours earlier took then it's a milestones generally by 3-5 months they develop observing , exploring things, constantly staring at things recognising voice, giving social smile,seek attention by crying ... Check if baby increasing weight ideally .. Try to feed every two to three hours either dream feed also no issues , change feeding position,room or your regular feeding place... If you observe baby is not active ,crying ,not taking feed then consult pediatrician for second opinion...
