Question
A three-month-old baby refuses to use a pacifier but will eat a small amount of bread soaked in water. What could be the reason? Is it too early to wean the baby? Can the baby decide to wean itself? It doesn’t seem like the baby is sick. Please explain this issue to an expert.
Answer
Hello, it’s still too early to wean the baby. The baby’s refusal of the pacifier might be due to insufficient digestive ability. It is suggested to feed in small, frequent amounts and ensure the daily food intake is at least 800 milliliters. Additionally, you can start introducing complementary foods such as vegetable soup and rice porridge. If the baby has morning breath or abnormal dry or loose stools, consider using digestive aids like MamiAi or BabyZi.
