Why don't babies like to drink milk powder?

The main source of nutrition for newborns is breast milk, but as their bodies develop, they will need to gradually use formula to replace breast milk. However, in daily life, many children refuse to eat milk powder. In this case, if they are weaned, the child’s health will definitely be greatly affected. So, why don’t babies like to drink milk powder? Let’s take a closer look at the reasons.

1. Add complementary foods in time: If some babies really don’t like milk powder, then when the baby is 4 months old, the mother can consider adding complementary foods to the baby, such as rice noodles, egg yolks, liver powder, fruit puree, and gradually to vegetable and meat porridge, soft noodles, etc. After being able to eat complementary foods, it will be much better, at least they can absorb nutrition from other aspects. However, eating too much complementary food will affect the amount of milk, so you should pay attention to this.

2. Give more confidence to breast milk: If your baby is too young to eat complementary food, you should feed him more breast milk. Many mothers feel that they have very little breast milk, but in fact, you may have more breast milk than you think. When the baby is unwilling to eat formula, breast milk should be used more effectively.

1. Milk aversion period. By about 4 months, the baby gradually matures. On the one hand, he may start to eat complementary foods and prefer new flavors of food, and temporarily lose interest in milk powder. For babies aged 4-6 months, the lactase in their bodies begins to decrease, the taste of their tongues begins to change, and their appetite begins to change. On the other hand, his hearing and vision had made breakthrough progress, which made him more interested in the outside world. He would often meddle in other people's business at the slightest sign of trouble, and his mind was no longer on breastfeeding.
