Question

The 3-month-old baby refuses to breastfeed. Now, as soon as the little mouth touches the nipple, he cries. He will eat a small bun soaked in water. What could be the reason for this? Is weaning impossible? Can a baby wean themselves? He doesn’t seem to be sick. Please give an explanation, experts.

Answer

Hello, weaning too early might be the issue. The baby’s current condition mainly considers insufficient digestive ability. I suggest giving the baby small and frequent meals, with regular feeding times, aiming for a daily food intake of over 800 milliliters. Timely addition of other complementary foods such as vegetable soup and rice porridge is recommended. If the baby has morning breath or dry or loose stools, you can give symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like Mama Love or Baby’s Essence.
