Patient's question:
Does the baby's refusal to drink formula mean they can get enough nutrition from food?Previous treatment and outcomes: At seven months, the baby had diarrhea followed by bronchitis, but both conditions have now improved.
What help is needed: Can the baby get enough nutrition without drinking formula? How can the baby be encouraged to drink milk now?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the ten-month-old baby does indeed eat dinner, but the nutrition may still not keep up. After all, the child is still small, and the digestive system is not fully developed, requiring a higher supply of nutrients, while their natural digestive and absorption ability is not that good. You can use formula as a supplementary food for the child in this way, or add some rice powder, etc. In any case, the child still needs to drink formula. Alternatively, you can first give the child yogurt, etc., to regulate their gastrointestinal system. The above is advice on the question "If a ten-month-old baby doesn't drink formula, will eating dinner provide enough nutrition?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
