Question
The three-month-old baby has refused to drink milk since October 1st and only drinks water. The baby used to be fed milk powder every three hours, crying when hungry, but now it’s unclear if the baby is hungry because it doesn’t cry. Although the bowel movements are normal, the parent is at a loss for what to do. The baby has already been taken to the hospital, and the doctor said there’s nothing wrong, but the parent still hopes to find a solution.
Answer
In response to the parent’s question, the baby may be refusing milk due to indigestion. It is recommended that the parent increase the frequency of feeding, provide more water to the baby, and consider giving the baby some digestive aids, such as multi-enzyme tablets or lactase tablets, if the situation does not improve. This should help resolve the issue of the baby refusing to drink milk.
