Question

My child’s milk intake has significantly decreased recently. I’m not sure if it’s because of the hot weather or if they’re tired of the taste of the milk. I want to try a different type of milk, but I’m not sure if it’s good for them.

Answer

A recent decrease in your child’s milk intake may be related to hot weather or a dissatisfaction with the taste of the milk. You can try a different type of milk, but make sure to ensure your child’s adequate fluid intake. Some newborns may suddenly decrease their milk intake between two and three months old, which is a normal phenomenon. As long as their energy and weight are normal, there is usually no need to worry.
