My baby is already over one year old. Is it time for him to eat milk powder? I bought milk powder for him but found that he doesn’t like it. Why? Will the milk powder I bought be wasted?

Babies are exclusively breastfed before they are six months old, and breastfeeding can actually last until they are two years old or longer. After a baby is one year old, it is best if they can continue to breastfeed. If this is not possible, infant formula can be used as a supplement to breast milk. When making recipes for your baby, you can also try adding a small amount of pure milk, yogurt, or as an ingredient to enrich the nutrition of complementary foods and improve the taste.

For babies over 1 year old, breast milk is still the first choice of milk. Babies have started the "three meals a day" diet. More and more diverse dietary combinations can provide rich nutritional support for babies, but milk still plays an important role in this stage and is indispensable. It occupies a very important position in the baby's growth diet, providing a very rich amount of high-quality protein and calcium for the baby's physical development. Babies aged 1-5 years old should still maintain the habit of drinking milk.

Babies don't like formula because they don't like the taste, or because the nipple is too hard or the feeding method is incorrect. Many babies have their own tastes. Mothers should never think that their babies are too young to pay attention to their babies' ideas. There is a difference between a mother's nipple and a nipple. The reason why babies don't eat formula may be that they are used to their mother's nipple and suddenly feel that the nipple is too hard. There is also a special way of feeding. If the feeding method is wrong, the baby will also get tired of formula. Every baby will get tired of formula for a period of time. The main reason is that they lose interest in formula and want to change food to eat food with a stronger taste and better taste.

If the baby does not like to eat milk powder, it is recommended to gradually increase the number of times the child drinks milk powder during the weaning period and reduce the number of times the child drinks only breast milk, so that there is transition time to prevent the child from refusing milk. In addition, when the child is about one year old, you can add some complementary foods to supplement his nutrition, such as rice noodles and porridge, as well as vegetables and tofu. These are suitable for the child's growth and can also supplement his daily nutrition. When you have time, you can also let the child eat a moderate amount of small biscuits as snacks to increase the child's appetite.

Generally speaking, if the child is weaned from breast milk, adding some formula milk can enhance the child's resistance, or it is also a good idea to give the child some bovine colostrum.
