About Poor Feeding in Telangana
A reduced interest in or ability to breastfeed or bottle-feed, common in infants and young children who are unwell. It may present as shorter feeding sessions, falling asleep quickly at the breast or bottle, refusing feeds altogether, or taking noticeably less volume than usual. Because young infants depend entirely on adequate feeding for hydration and growth, this symptom is taken seriously by paediatricians.

When should I see a doctor for Poor Feeding?
Seek immediate care if an infant refuses multiple consecutive feeds, has fewer than 4-6 wet diapers a day, appears lethargic or unusually sleepy, has a fever, or shows signs of dehydration such as a sunken fontanelle or dry lips. Any persistent poor feeding beyond a day or two, or associated weight loss, needs prompt paediatric evaluation since infants can dehydrate quickly.
