Will the baby be hungry if he doesn't want to drink milk? What should I do if the baby resists milk powder?

There are many reasons why babies don't want to breastfeed. It may be that the baby has reached the milk aversion stage, or it may be that the baby has poor appetite. Mothers are worried and anxious when their babies don't eat. Is there any way to solve this problem?

If your baby doesn't like to drink milk powder, it is not recommended to starve the baby until he eats it, as this may cause physical discomfort to the baby, or psychological trauma, and make him prone to temper tantrums when he grows up. Parents can use other methods to make their baby accept milk powder.

When your baby refuses to drink formula milk and other methods are ineffective, the best way is to let your baby starve, and not feed him complementary food or rice. When your baby is very hungry, he will naturally think that formula milk tastes good. Of course, you have to be ruthless at this time. Also, you should pay attention to choosing a formula milk that has a light taste, tastes similar to breast milk, and is rich in nutrition. Maybe your baby will like formula milk.

1. Choose the right pacifier. Although the feeling of a good pacifier is still different from that of breastfeeding, you can choose a pacifier that is closer to your mother's milk. Then boil the pacifier for a while to soften it, which may make it easier for your baby to accept.

2 See if the baby doesn't like the pacifier or the taste of the formula. Try to squeeze out breast milk and put it in a bottle for the baby. If he accepts it, he may not like the taste of formula. You can try a brand that tastes close to breast milk. Of course, don't change too much. You can also try to dilute the formula or make it colder or hotter.

3. Add complementary foods in time. At 2 months, you can drink juice. At 4 months, you can eat complementary foods, such as rice noodles, egg yolks, liver meal, fish meal, fruit puree, and gradually vegetable and meat porridge, soft noodles, etc. After eating complementary foods, it will be much better. At least you can absorb nutrition from other aspects. As long as the baby can absorb enough protein and other nutrients from other places, you don’t have to force a certain amount of milk to drink a day. However, it is not advisable to eat too much complementary food.

Pay attention to adjusting your mentality. Mothers all hope that their babies grow well. When they encounter babies who don’t eat milk powder, they will be extremely anxious, and they will be more upset than if they don’t eat. In fact, it is normal for babies to refuse to eat milk powder, and many mothers will encounter it. Try various methods. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. The baby is also growing up slowly, and he will absorb nutrition from other aspects. Slowly cultivate his interest in milk powder, and the change may happen in one day. Don’t force your baby to eat milk powder. The more you force a baby with a distinct personality, the less he will eat. Watching her crying, the mother must feel more uncomfortable than she does, so don’t force it, it will be counterproductive. Don’t rush to try all kinds of methods. Babies have individual differences and innate temperaments. The methods that are suitable for other babies may not be suitable for your baby, so don’t try all the methods at once, and don’t rush to find new methods if you don’t succeed once. Be patient and guide, and take it slowly.
