Question
Hello, my child just gave birth, but the child doesn’t want to drink formula milk. What should I give them instead?
Answer
Hello! According to the principle, children over three months old can start introducing complementary foods. If your child dislikes formula milk, you can try giving them some rice porridge, juice, or vegetable juice. If breast milk is insufficient, you will need to supplement with formula milk. However, if the child cries and fusses when given formula milk, it may be because they are not hungry yet. In this case, you can temporarily hold off on feeding them. I suggest you can also prepare some rice porridge for them yourself. Rice porridge can be sweetened (by adding some sugar) or made savory (with pork bone soup, vegetable soup, or fish soup, etc.). You can try these methods and hope they will be helpful.
