This can lead to a decrease in appetite and a lack of interest in milk, which means that the baby enters the anorexia phase. Will anorexia have any adverse effects on my baby? As long as your baby is drinking enough water, there will be no problem and mothers do not need to worry. How long does anorexia usually last?
