What should I do if the baby is afraid to eat during the weaning period?

Patient's question:

About half a month, the baby hasn't drunk much formula milk. Recently, the baby hasn't drunk breast milk either. In the past two days, I added dozens of milliliters of homemade rice porridge in the morning. Today, the baby hasn't even drunk 300 milliliters. Will it be called a picky eater? I heard that it's the "dry milk period" now. I'm also planning to buy some formula rice porridge for the baby.
What kind of help do you want: Please ask what should be done when the baby is in the "dry milk period"?

Doctor's answer:

For about half a month, the baby hasn't drunk much formula milk. Recently, for the past two days, the baby hasn't even been eating breast milk. In the past two days, I added dozens of milliliters of homemade rice porridge in the morning. Today, the baby hasn't even drunk 300 milliliters! These are all signs of the weaning phase! Although a good nipple and the feeling of drinking from the mother's breast are still different, it can help determine a certain point to use a nipple. Provide supplementary food in a timely manner. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if the baby refuses to drink milk during the weaning phase?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
