What to Do When a Baby Enters the Fussiness Period and Refuses to Feed?

Question

My baby has entered the fussiness period and has significantly reduced their intake of formula milk in the past month, even showing a reluctance to breastfeed for two consecutive days. The other day, when I tried giving homemade rice porridge, they only ate a few tens of milliliters, and today even less than 300 milliliters. Does this situation indicate that the baby has started to show signs of anorexia? I’ve heard that babies enter a fussiness period at certain stages. I’m considering whether to buy formula rice milk to try. What should parents do during the fussiness period?

Answer

The symptoms of a baby entering the fussiness period include a reduction in milk intake. Although no nipple can fully replace the sensation of suckling breast milk, it can indeed help some babies. Additionally, introducing complementary foods in a timely manner is also important. These are suggestions for the question “What to Do When a Baby Enters the Fussiness Period and Refuses to Feed?” I hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby health!
