2.5months kid not taking feeding
Hello Doctor,
My family has been tested Covid positive yesterday but we have found the symptoms 4 days back itself.
As soon as we suspected about our health, I have moved my 2.5months old baby to different place but now from the last 3 days she is not taking feeding properly and every time we try giving milk she resists and starts crying. She is very much active though.
Can you please advise how can we proceed with this situation.
Thanks,
Tejesh.
Infants are very rarely to be infected by covid19.
Change of place may affect feedings in infants.
What about mother....is she also infected...
She can continue breastfeeding by taking all precautions as wearing mask nd washing hands before touching the baby.
As you say your baby is very much active you do not have to worry much.
Next Steps
.look for Stuffy nose...... give saline nasal drop
Burp her to release trapped gas.
If no response consult online or personally.
