A member asked:
What makes a newborn not eat and have a high white blood cell count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Newborns only drink: New borns are only expected to drink milk , eating starts at the age of 4-5 months when table foods are introduced. If they are not eating well and have very high white count they should be checked for chest / throat / ear / urine infections. Not being able to eat ./ drink / being fussy / not being active as normal are all signs of infection.
