Spanish term or phrase: rechazo de tomas
Context:

"El motivo por el que se recogió urocultivo fue fiebre en 256 (54,1%), rechazo de tomas en 167 (35,3%), irritabilidad en 152 (32,1%), vómitos en 128 (27,1%) y otros en 74 (15,6%)."

Refers to infants under 90 days old. I understand what it means, the baby is not eating, but I'm unsure if there's a proper medical term for this that is commonly used in English? This is for a medical/scientific journal article, US English.

Poor feeding? Feeding difficulties?

Thanks in advance!
