Baby not feeding properly 4months old

2024-01-03 16:28:33
Hi I posted my query in the morning, baby took feed at 3 and 5, again he is not taking feed he has passed urine around 8-9times since morning and have pooped around 2 times, by 9pm, i fed him around 90ml a bit forcefully diverting his attention which he was not interested in, he pooped for 2nd time after feeding which was of normal consistency (poop), I asked my paediatrician he said to wait maximum till 6hrs baby will be hungry he will take feed don't force the feed, isn't 6hrs a long time???, he playing and active though, but not taking feeds properly, I am worrying for dehydration as he is not taking feeds properly, please guide.

If he's peeing this much that means that he's not dehydrated. Feed on demand don't force feed.
