Question
My baby is 1 year and 3 months old. She cries herself to sleep at night but refuses to drink formula. What should I do?
Answer
Generally speaking, the first thing to determine in this situation is whether the baby only wants to eat formula and nothing else. If the baby is only refusing the formula, then you can first try to endure for a period of time, such as a week, to see if the baby will start drinking formula. If the baby still refuses, consider starting to give the baby some complementary foods, as for a 1-year-and-3-month-old, formula primarily provides calcium and protein, which can also be obtained from other foods.
