Is there any trick to stop children from eating milk powder?

When children are weaned, they need to transition to formula feeding, but some babies don’t eat formula, which can cause headaches for their mothers. Mothers should use some techniques to gradually let their children eat milk powder, such as choosing a suitable pacifier, adding some complementary foods in time, and gradually transitioning to infant formula milk powder, which will also help the baby's healthy development.

1. Choose the right pacifier:

Although no matter how good the pacifier is, the feeling will still be different from drinking mother’s milk, you can choose a pacifier that is closer. Another suggestion is to boil the nipple for a while to soften it, and the baby may be more accepting of it.

2. Add complementary food in time:

At 2 months, they can drink fruit juice. At 4 months, they can eat complementary foods, such as rice noodles, egg yolks, liver meal, fish meal, and fruit puree, and then to vegetable and meat porridge, soft noodles, etc. After they can eat complementary foods, things will be much better, at least they can absorb nutrition from other aspects. However, eating too much complementary food will affect the amount of milk, so you should pay attention to this.

3. Give breast milk more confidence

If the baby is too young to eat complementary food, he should eat more breast milk. Many mothers feel that they have very little breast milk, but in fact, you may have more breast milk than you think. When the baby is unwilling to eat formula, breast milk should be used more effectively.

4. Make the nipple bigger:

Many children hate eating milk powder. They will cry and turn their heads away when they see the bottle or eat the milk powder. When in a good mood, he will put the nipple in his mouth but not suck it. If you open the nipple wider, the baby will still eat it even if the nipple leaks into his mouth. Although it is slow, it is better than not eating. I can eat about 90ml at a time.

5. Eat and drink in front of her:

At a certain stage, the baby will be very curious about the outside world. When he sees what you are eating, he will be very greedy and want to try it. So sometimes I deliberately drink something in front of her or pretend to drink milk. She will keep watching me, and then I will quickly give it to her, and sometimes she will eat a little. This method also applies to eating complementary foods.

6. Try something other than a bottle:

Most babies will accept a small spoon, but Ding Dang won’t. I tried drinking from a cup and was actually able to drink a little, so I quickly bought a training cup, but I still didn't like it. Some mothers said that you can try using the lid on the bottle. I also thought of using the dropper from Little Shierkang, but unfortunately the speed was too slow. There is also a weaning bottle with a small spoon in the front, you can try it.
