When the baby is 4~5 months old, the temporary anorexia condition is physiological anorexia, but we can’t rule out pathological anorexia.
1. Physiological anorexia: generally occurs in 4~5 months old babies, usually the child is very energetic, normal development, just a temporary reduction in the amount of milk, usually about a month to naturally restore the appetite. Although babies at this stage eat less, most of them can still maintain the growth they should have.
2. Pathological anorexia: There is no clear time for pathological anorexia, which is mainly caused by diseases such as sepsis, congenital heart disease, acute pharyngitis, thrush, etc. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as reduced vitality and poor mental state, and the anorexia is usually relieved after the disease is relieved.
When your child has anorexia, you should pay attention to it. If the anorexia lasts for a long time and is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek medical advice and treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
