A member asked:

Hey there, am having a little problem with my baby which his 6 month and 2weeks. he does not want to drink milk i don't know what wrong with him.

Hard to say: If he won't drink, he will become dehydrated. You can try to coax him but if he refuses it may be a problem with his mouth or illness in general. A visit for an exam is how you sort this out.
