HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You need to take the baby to be seen as soon as possible. Babies need milk, this is their main source of nutrition at that age. Water, cereals or any other food or drink would not give their bodies and brains what is need to help then survive and do well.
If he is not drinking well and it is has been going on for 20 days, he needs to be assessed so that the cause can be found and treated as soon as possible.
I hope this helps
