Medical diagnosis of anorexia on baby what standards?

Don\'t simply thought the baby bad appetite is anorexia, baby on medical diagnosis of anorexia is a standard:

(1) time with anorexia: more than 6 months (6 months).


(2) how much: inadequate intake of protein, energy supply standard 70%~75%; minerals and vitamin intake is insufficient supply of standard 5%; 3 age baby cereal intake of less than 50 grams per day.


(3) growth: normal average height and weight are lower than the same age of water (except for genetic factors), height, weight has not increased during the anorexia.


(4) taste acuity decrease, bacteria-like papillary hypertrophy or atrophy of tongue.


(5) General anorexia time should last more than 2 weeks.


This shows that many babies eating problems are not considered to be \"anorexia\", let alone has \"anorexia\".
