4 month old not taking feed properly

2025-02-24 09:45:48
Hi, my son is refusing to breast feed during active hours in the mng. He is only taking feed while half asleep and at nights. When I try to feed him he turns his head and sucks his thumb. He cries if I force him. He used to feed whenever I offer previously. Elders saying he is interested in playtime now. I'm confused whether to wait and see or consult doctor. Urine count and weight is fine. No cold too. He stops crying when I stops to feed or someone carries him. It just seems like he is not interested to take feed.Any advices?
