What should I do if my 3-month-old baby has a poor appetite?

Many babies have various conditions, which cause headaches for their parents. In particular, sometimes babies have poor appetite. This not only affects the baby's healthy development, but also makes parents very worried. Why does the baby have a poor appetite? In fact, there are many reasons why early babies have a poor appetite. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

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.

1. Breastfed babies don’t like pacifiers.

This is the most common cause and most breastfed babies will encounter this problem. While we are contentedly feeding our baby, we often don't realize how difficult it is to get him to accept a pacifier.

2. Don’t like the taste of milk powder.

Although the baby is small, he has his own ideas and tastes, and he may not like the taste of this milk powder.

The above are several possible reasons that may cause babies to have poor appetite. Don’t worry too much, because it is still very possible to cure it. At this time, parents need to carefully adjust the care. You must pay attention to changes in your child’s taste. You can try several flavors of milk powder for your child. It is very important to choose milk powder that suits your child.
