Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Teething : His lack of appetite and crankiness may be due to teething. Breast milk is more soothing and is easily digetable. It may also cause his so- called constipation. Try substituting half of a frozen bagel or other cold object to suck on for your breast.
