Question
What should I do if my child, who is ten months old, refuses to drink formula milk?
Answer
Onset Time: Detailed laboratory test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby was premature, just learning to sit, and has two teeth but won’t suck on a bottle or drink formula milk. Desired assistance: What kind of formula can help me? Advice on how to provide complementary foods on time: If there are complementary foods, pay attention to their nutritional content recently, but do not force or coerce the child, as this will only have the opposite effect. Secondly, whether the baby drinks formula or not has little to do with the type of formula. Guidance: 1. It is recommended to wait a few days before offering the formula again. Wait until the baby is hungry and in a good mood, then easily prepare a bottle of milk for them. 2. When feeding, try to focus the baby’s attention. If they drink a few sips and then hesitate, do not force them. 3. Normally, treat the formula as a relatively mysterious good thing that can only be had when the baby behaves well, rather than as a task. It will generally get better slowly. Survival Care: This is a challenging training process, so take it slowly and do not let the baby develop a negative emotion towards milk. Patience is key.
