Question
My child is almost three months old, and since my breast milk is scarce, I have been giving him more formula milk. However, in the past two weeks, he has started refusing formula milk. He cries as soon as he touches the bottle’s nipple, and when he’s not crying, he’s playing with the nipple. But when he’s breastfeeding, he doesn’t cry. I tried changing to a different brand of formula, but he still behaves the same way. I’m very worried because my breast milk is insufficient, and I’m afraid he won’t be satisfied. Doctors and netizens, please give me some advice.
Answer
It’s important to figure out whether the child dislikes formula milk or simply doesn’t want to drink it. If it’s the latter, it may be necessary to visit a hospital promptly to see if there are any digestive system issues.
