Baby do not eat adequately
My daughter is 12 months old, and her weight is around 7.8 kgs.
She do not eat or drink food adequately. She drinks milk only while asleep and approximately around 60-70 ml maximum in one go. We have tried to switch from formula milk to buffalo milk and vice versa but results remains same.
There is no symptom of teething. We are monitoring her for last 2-3 months and status is same. Sometimes she doesn't drink milk for whole day. Also she do not eat any food more than 3-4 spoons.
Do we need to worry about this?? Is it normal or something is wrong.
Kindly suggest.
