Question
Why has my child’s milk intake suddenly decreased recently? Can I try giving my child a different type of milk?
Answer
Your child’s recent decrease in milk intake may be due to the hot weather or a bit tired of the taste of the milk. You can try giving your child a different type of milk to solve the problem. However, the effect of switching formula milk on the child needs to be evaluated according to the specific situation. Moreover, during hot weather, make sure your child drinks enough water. Some newborns may suddenly decrease their milk intake a few months after birth, but their vitality and weight are still normal. This is because suckling is a reflex action in the first few months after birth, and the amount of drinking will be adjusted according to actual body needs and appetite later on. So, a decrease in appetite is a normal phenomenon.
