Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Check temperature: Poor feeding may be caused by an infection. Please monitor his temperature and provide adequate formula. Solids may be offered in a variety of pureed foods. Continue food introductions, watch for rash and signs of respiratory distress. The other consideration is teething, especially if he is drooling. Please follow up.
