Help Regarding 4-month Old Refusing to Drink Milk Posted: 06-24-04 10:45am
I am hoping someone can offer some ideas
or suggestions … we live in greece and
have a baby daughter who will turn four
months old on june 26th. She developed a
urinary tract infection at just over three
months and after an in-hospital course of
antibiotics, she is clear. She continues
to take oral antibiotics, at first septrin
and now ceclor. It seems that after
starting the oral antibiotics, she has
slowed down seriously in her milk
consumption. Before she would eagerly
drink about 150 ml (5 ounces) in two or
three goes five to six times a day. But
now she takes only about 2 to 3 ounces on
the first go and absolutely refuses to
take any more. We are trying to feed her
every three hours but she refuses so much.
It is almost like she dislikes the milk.
Her urine re-test is still clear. She
seems to have a lot of indigestion and gas
and the doctors here have given her zantac
to stop this but after four days it is not
showing much effect. She is in the
process of adoption so we can not take her
out of greece until her paperwork is
complete. We are very reluctant to travel
to athens as we fear she may catch
something else worse … athens is horribly
hot and dusty in the summer. I would very
much appreciate any ideas or experiences.
Thank you!!

Hello Posted: 08-31-04 20:00pm
I have the same problem with my baby she
is just not eating more than 2, 3 oz every
2 hours and the doctors say that she is
teething, is your baby maybe teething?
The doctor says that if she poops (bm)
than she is ok.....
