My two month old son not drinking milk

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

Hello doctor, I have 80 days old son. He used to drink milk properly but from 15 days he s refusing milk. He drinks milk only when he's asleep, when he is awake he is always in playful mood and does not want to drink milk at all , and he pushes the nipple with his tongue.I have tried changing the bottles and gave medicines for colic pain and gas. And also using probiotics to improve digestion suggested by my paediatrician. Nothing seems to work. It's just that he doesn't want to drink milk at all when he is awake. What to do... And please tell me how much quantity of milk should my baby drink in a day.

Stop all medicines!! If the baby is active physically,passing urine normally,and playing,rather than irritable and crying all the time,relax! Give feeds only on demand,let him be hungry!! Keep a gap of atleast 3 hours inbetween feeds,even more if he's not hungry.
