5 month old not feeding properly.

2022-06-21 10:06:59
My 5 month old is more interested in playing band other things than feeding. He is not taking sufficient milk. Neither mine nor formula. He is active, pooping almost every day. How can I feed him properly. He wants to talk and play only.

It is normal. They want to explore the world and surroundings so less interest in food. Offer but don't force feed.
