What to do if your baby refuses to take a pacifier

Of course, some parents need to feed their babies milk powder when they are weaning, but babies are more resistant to pacifiers, so naturally the absorption of nutrition will become an obstacle. Therefore, if the baby does not like to use the pacifier, parents should find some effective solutions to allow the baby to gradually adapt to the pacifier. You can try the following methods.

Getting your baby to accept a bottle requires a gradual process. First, you need to divide your baby's feeding time into three periods: morning, noon, and evening. Try it in the middle period first, as babies at this time are more receptive to new things. You can tease him with the bottle first, then feed him a few sips to make him familiar with the bottle. Then feed him more often with the bottle when he is calm. You can try to change the imitation pacifier for your baby

No expert has a secret trick that can make a baby fall in love with a bottle all of a sudden, because babies are attached to breast milk not only because it saves energy, but more because they miss the affection between them and their mother. So it is not possible to get a baby used to using a pacifier in a short period of time. Children do not use bottles because they are not used to the feeling of the pacifier, which is different from their mother's nipple. It takes patience to slowly change children's habits. You can feed your child with a bottle when he is hungry, and the child will be more receptive to it. Children have strong adaptability and will gradually get used to the rubber pacifier. At the same time, if the amount of breast milk is very small and you do not want to continue breastfeeding, you can stop breastfeeding so that your child can concentrate on receiving formula. It is also important to note that you should choose a pacifier with a soft texture and also pay attention to the flavor of milk powder that your baby likes. It doesn’t matter if the child goes hungry for a few meals. When he is really hungry, he will gradually accept milk powder and bottle.

Parents must pay attention when facing these problems, because babies actually have a dependence on breast milk. If they suddenly switch to pacifiers, they will naturally have some resistance. Therefore, they should give the baby a process of acceptance, which will be more conducive to their nutrient absorption.
