Hi,
If baby is active and playful, there is no need to worry
It is important that you have to continue breast milk
Try to change diet pattern
You can give fruit and fruit juice also
Sometimes if food is monotonous also
they will hesitate to eat
Usually medications will not be given to
Increase appetite, because it is harmful
Just wait and watch

Hi. Infant babies usually will have this habit. If your baby is otherwise active, playful and gaining weight, we can wait and watch. Usually we avoid medicines and deworming for infants. Give him the diet which he likes the most and try different foods. Try feeding him only when he is hungry.
Next Steps
if he still continues to refuse food, pls contact near by paediatrician
