Question
What should I do if my baby refuses breast milk after weaning and only eats congee, worrying about nutritional deficiencies? How can I guide my baby to accept milk?
Answer
When your baby is weaning, you can gradually reduce breastfeeding and increase the intake of milk powder or other dairy products. Avoid letting the baby see or touch the mother’s nipple to reduce dependence on breast milk. At the same time, try using other feeding containers for milk powder to reduce the baby’s resistance to bottles. If the baby still refuses milk powder, consider adding it to congee or other foods to gradually increase the intake of milk powder. Most importantly, the weaning process should be guided with love and patience to reduce the baby’s anxiety and discomfort.
