Question
A baby over 40 days old doesn’t like to drink formula milk and refuses to sleep. What’s going on?
Answer
At 40 days old, the baby suddenly dislikes drinking formula milk, which could be due to a recent change in formula causing an unsuitable taste. Such a change might make the baby feel uneasy, leading to a reluctance to drink. It is suggested to first resume using the baby’s more acceptable formula, or temporarily observe for a period of time to see if the baby will adapt to the new formula. The best method is still breastfeeding, as it makes the baby feel full and easier to fall asleep.
