How to get the baby to adapt to drinking from a bottle

Patient's question:

The baby hasn't been eating breast milk since they were a month old. Now they are four and a half months old and have just started teething. Whenever they drink formula, they keep biting down tightly, as if they will never use a bottle. They won't suck at all. If they can't eat by themselves, they keep crying. What's going on? They've always used a bottle, so why suddenly refuse to eat?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of your child's condition, let's check if your child has ulcers in their mouth? According to the baby's condition, this situation is usually because there are ulcers in the baby's mouth, which will cause pain when they suck milk, so the baby will cry. It is recommended to follow up with a pediatrician and check the bottle carefully. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby refuses to drink from the bottle and cries?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
