The baby eats complementary food and doesn't like to drink milk

Babies can easily feel full after eating complementary foods and will not want to breastfeed anymore, so mothers should give their babies some food that promotes digestion, and don’t give them too much, otherwise the baby will stop breastfeeding. It is a good thing for mothers to add complementary foods to their babies, but they need to pay attention to the type and amount of complementary foods. After all, the baby is still young and can't digest much complementary food. It is best to focus on breastfeeding and add appropriate complementary foods.

Give less complementary food

After the baby is born, he can slowly digest some food, and we can start giving the baby complementary food, but we don’t give too much. If we give too much, the baby will not like to drink milk. We need to increase the complementary food little by little according to the baby’s growth to avoid the problem of the baby not drinking milk after eating complementary food.

Make sure your baby is hungry

When we feed our babies complementary foods, we need to give them some milk when they feel hungry. We need to grasp the time well, because when the baby is eating, even if he is very hungry at the beginning, as long as he eats something, he will lose his hunger over time. We need to give the baby milk when he feels hungry.

Give your baby milk first and then solid food

We can also give the baby some milk first, and then give the baby complementary food. In this way, the baby will not dislike milk due to unreasonable complementary food. After all, everything tastes good when you are hungry. And giving milk first can ensure that the baby likes milk more, because people generally don’t like to eat things that they haven’t eaten for a long time.

You can eat complementary food and milk together

If the baby doesn't like to drink milk after eating complementary food, we can mix the complementary food and milk together. This way, the baby can eat complementary food and drink milk at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. We only need to master the ratio of milk and complementary food.

You can adjust the taste of milk

If your baby doesn't like to drink milk after eating complementary food, it may be because the milk tastes light and he has no appetite. We can add some flavor, but we must ensure that the seasoning is healthy. We can use the taste of complementary food or some sugars to make the baby like drinking milk.

Children's anorexia requires balanced nutrition

When we are raising children, due to unbalanced nutrition, the children may become anorexic and not like to drink milk after eating complementary food. We need to adjust the children's diet and health in time. We can go to the hospital to see how to ensure the children's balanced nutrition and solve the problem of anorexia first, and then let the children drink milk.

Pay attention to physical illness and seek timely treatment

If the baby does not drink milk after eating complementary food due to physical disease or other reasons, we need to seek medical attention in time and cure the disease first. Naturally, the baby will like to drink milk after eating complementary food. Because the child's intestines are relatively fragile and problems may occur easily, we must pay attention and not magnify the problem.

Reduce the number of complementary feedings and feed with milk

We usually feed our baby on time every day. We can reduce the number of feedings a day and skip feeding complementary food once, so that the baby can only drink milk. The baby will drink milk even if he is hungry. We just need to feed the baby patiently, which can solve the problem of the baby not liking to drink milk after eating complementary food.
