Baby not drinking milk like earlier
Hello Doc, my baby is around 4 months her feed has dropped extensively earlier she used to take 60 mL formula n my breastmilk now she has stopped drinking formula and she drinks only 5-6 mins breastmilk. I am very worried. Her urine count is 10+ she is active but I don't understand why she has stopped the feed. What should I do??

Try only breastfeeding for 15-20 mins each session…Look for total day urination count and post feed sleep duration…***Most importantly you can monitor the weight gain on weekly basis which can indirectly give you a clue about feeding adequacy***
