Question
I’ve recently noticed that my child’s milk intake has significantly decreased. This might be due to the hot weather or their exhaustion of the current milk product’s taste. Parents are considering changing the milk product but are worried about whether this transition is beneficial for the child. The child is three months old and occasionally experiences green stools under the current circumstances.
Answer
You can try changing the milk product, but also consider the impact of the hot weather and ensure the child has enough water intake. Some newborns may suddenly decrease their milk intake between two to three months after birth, but their activity level and weight remain normal. This is usually because before this stage, suckling was a reflex action, and they would drink as soon as milk was provided. However, as they grow, children will adjust their milk intake based on their actual needs and appetite, so their consumption may vary.
