My baby suddenly stopped eating milk powder.

Babies are the apple of their parents' eyes. When they are younger, their main source of food is breast milk, and they absorb nutrients through breast milk. But when they grow older, breast milk can no longer meet their needs, and milk powder becomes a good choice. However, some babies stop eating milk powder after a period of time. When this problem occurs, mothers will be very worried. So what are the possible reasons why babies don't drink milk powder? What impact will it have on the baby?

Why does the baby suddenly refuse to eat milk powder?

If your baby suddenly refuses to drink milk, it may be related to the following reasons:

1. Babies will have a period of milk aversion at three to four months old. During this time, you can reduce the concentration of milk powder or stop feeding to allow the digestive system to buffer and rest, and then it will recover.

2. Vaccinations and colds can also reduce appetite.

3. The amount of milk may also decrease when adding complementary foods.

4. If the baby is in a bad mental state, or has symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, irritability, crying, etc., you should go to the hospital for examination to make a clear diagnosis.

5) The milk powder has gone bad. For example, when you open the can, there is an oily smell and the milk powder does not disperse. If the milk powder color, fragrance and taste are normal, it is not a problem with the milk powder.

What to do if the baby refuses to eat milk powder?

1. Dilute the milk powder and let it cool. The baby doesn’t want to eat milk powder because he was fed too much in the past period of time. His liver and kidneys are so tired from digesting food that they go on strike, and the result is that he “hates eating milk powder”.

2. Change to bottles of different colors. When a baby is anorexic, he will cry when he sees a yellow bottle. If you feed him with a green bottle, he will eat after being coaxed into doing so. This may be the same reason why some babies are afraid of injections and cry when they see a doctor in a white coat.

3. If your baby can’t eat at all, don’t force him/her. You can change the milk powder to a different flavor. Your baby may like it.

4. During the period of aversion to formula milk, the baby really wants to drink breast milk. There is a commonly used trick: first let the baby eat breast milk (even without lotion), and prepare the right milk powder at the same time. After a while, put the milk powder bottle nipple into the baby's mouth. This method is effective for most babies at the beginning.

After the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the situation of babies eating milk powder. If the baby is unwilling to eat milk powder, then the mother should start to find ways to give the baby some breast milk, or try a different kind of milk powder. You can try some of the above methods. In short, everything is for the baby's health.
