How Can Fussy Eating With Sleeplessness Be Treated?

Hi, my daughter who is 6 months old has not eaten in 6 hours. She kept on waking up last night and took me a while to put her to sleep when normally I would just give her the pacifier and she would sleep. She is very fUssy and whiny. (She is one of twins) what should I do?

Hi,

6 hours is nothing for a 6-month-old infant. As long as she is active otherwise and playful do not worry about feeding habit. Try to give small aliquots of calorie-dense food, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
