What to do if your baby doesn't drink milk powder after weaning

When the baby reaches a certain age, the mother will try to feed the baby with milk powder to wean the baby. Many babies will feel aversion when faced with powdered milk. Babies who are used to breastfeeding will find the taste of milk powder strange. Therefore, mothers must be patient during the weaning period. The transition from breast milk to formula is a slow and arduous process. Next, I will tell you what to do if your baby refuses to drink milk powder after weaning.

Many mothers believe that breast milk has no nutritional value after six months, so they choose to wean their babies when they are six months old. Although it is easier to wean a six-month-old baby, due to their young age, the types of food that can be added are relatively monotonous. Therefore, the baby may become noticeably thinner after weaning and may develop some diseases. For the baby's health, the best time to wean the baby should be around one year old, because at this stage, the calories provided by complementary foods can reach more than 60% of the total food calories required by the baby, and the conditions for weaning the baby are met.

Weaning process: proceed step by step and use complementary foods skillfully to completely and effectively wean off breast milk. It is best to adopt a gradual approach. A mother lets her baby adapt to various complementary foods before weaning her baby, allowing complementary foods to gradually replace breast milk. She first stopped the baby from breastfeeding during the day, and completely replaced breast milk with complementary foods and fruits during the day. When the baby completely forgot to drink breast milk during the day, she stopped the baby's midnight feeding, and finally the feeding before bedtime. Through this process, her baby completely said goodbye to breast milk, and the baby did not cry or make a fuss, but instead became a lot fatter.

The above is some information about what to do if your baby refuses to drink milk powder after weaning. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Children have been growing up drinking their mother's breast milk. If they are suddenly not allowed to drink breast milk, they will definitely not be used to it. This is also the reason why babies reject milk powder. Here, it is recommended that mothers mix breast milk into the bottle, let the child get used to the bottle first, and then proceed step by step.
