Inadequate feed
Hello doctor
My 6.5 month baby is not taking breastmilk when he is awake from last week. Only takes in half sleep .And whenever I try to feed him formula or cerelac or apple puree he just cry and sometimes acts as puking.
His weight is 7.2 and was iugr baby with 2.1 kg weight at the time of birth.
I am so worried that what should I do to increase his weigh as he gain weight only 300 gram in a month.
