5 month old sucks thumb, not taking feed
Hi Doctors,
My five month old daughter doesn't take her milk properly (direct and expressed milk). She is busy with sucking her thumb or her feet/toe. She doesn't sleep at night and wakes up every two hours or so.
Birth weight (19/12/21)- 3.76 kg. She lost around 350 gm in the first two / three days. Current weight 7.8 kg.
What is the solution for this issue? And how much milk (in ml) should she be taking everyday?
