Poor thread title
As a mother when a baby refuse or stops sucking breast there must something wrong with the baby .
One need to check may be the baby has difficulty in breathing. If the nose is stuffed up, suck it out.
Fast breathing (60 or more breaths a minute), blue color,grunting, and sucking in of the skin between the ribs with each breath are signs of pneumonia.
Small babies with pneumonia often do not cough; sometimes none of the common signs are present.
If you suspect pneumonia,treat as for bacterial infection of the blood.
Another thing is that;you should look at the baby's skin color.
If the lips and face are blue, consider pneumonia ( or a heart defect or other problem the baby was born with.
If the face and whites of the eyes begin to get yellow (jaundiced) in the first day of life or after the fifth day, this is serious. Get medical help. Some yellow color between the second and fifth day of life is usually not serious.
Give the baby plenty of breast milk, by spoon if necessary. Take off all the baby's clothes and put him in bright light near a window ( but make sure that its not direct to sunlight).
