What are the symptoms of baby's milk aversion?

For many infants and young children, there will be a period of milk aversion during breastfeeding. In fact, the baby should not be forced to breastfeed. Generally, this phenomenon has two reasons, physiological and pathological. So what are the symptoms?

Phase 1

One is when the baby is 3-4 months old. The baby gradually matures. On the one hand, he may start eating complementary foods and prefer new flavors of food, and temporarily lose interest in milk powder. Cradle.com says that at 4-6 months, the lactase in the baby's body begins to decrease, the taste of the tongue begins to change, and the appetite begins to change. On the other hand, his hearing and vision have made breakthrough progress, making him more interested in the outside world. He often "meddles in other people's business" when there is any movement, and his mind is no longer on feeding.

Phase II

When babies are around 6-10 months old, most of them are growing teeth. Due to the itchy gums, babies often focus on biting the nipple when feeding, leading to milk aversion symptoms.

The spirit and vitality are normal, but the baby does not like to drink milk: At this time, the baby's activity level is normal, the spirit is also very good, the expression is usually very happy, but it seems that he is not very hungry! When feeding, some babies frown or even turn their heads away when they smell the milk. Even if you put the nipple in their mouths, they will always quickly push it out with their tongues, as if the food is disgusting.

Easy to be distracted when drinking milk: Even if the baby is willing to drink milk, he will often stop eating because of some noise around him, for example: someone walking in the corridor, the leaves outside the window being blown by the wind...etc. Almost anything is more likely to arouse the baby's strong curiosity than drinking milk, prompting him to turn his head to find out what is going on.
