Question

Why does my baby suddenly refuse to breastfeed and seems less fussy?

Answer

Your baby might be intolerant to the current formula milk, lacking in protein and trace elements. It’s suggested to take your baby to a regular pediatric hospital for a trace element check when they reach six months old, and you may need to switch formulas. Additionally, babies usually feed every two to three hours, and you can offer some plain water in between. Maintain a regular feeding schedule. Avoid overfeeding during breastfeeding, and after feeding, let the baby rest on your shoulder and gently pat them; it’s normal for them to spit up a little. These are suggestions for your baby’s refusal to breastfeed; I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
