Jasmine KaurMom of a 9 yr 3 m old boy2 years agoA. Hello dear parent, babies take time little time to recover. As baby is just out of fever, so do not expect babynto.eat his meal completely. Give him less quantity of diet as you,used to. Because that helps baby to digest easily. Good luck and take care
