The anorexia period of newborns is usually around 4~6 months, and there are individual differences in the exact time.
The emergence of anorexia nervosa is mainly related to the growth and development of infants, as newborns are mainly lying down before 3~4 months, but after 3 months, with the gradual development of the infant’s neck and the ability to raise their head to observe the external environment, the infant’s curiosity is increased, which leads to distraction during breastfeeding.
In addition, the infant’s sense of taste gradually develops, tired of a single flavor, the developmental speed slows down and the ability to withstand hunger gradually increases, so there will be anorexia, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Anorexia does not affect the infant’s mental state and normal development, and can be improved by lengthening the interval between feedings and adding complementary foods. If a newborn’s milk intake decreases and the baby’s mental state is poor, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly.
