Patient's question:
My baby is now three months old and has always been drinking milk. Usually, he drinks several bottles of milk a day, but he doesn't really like drinking water. However, recently, for some reason, he doesn't like drinking milk anymore and drinks less than one bottle a day.What kind of help is needed: How can I deal with a three-month-old baby who doesn't like drinking milk these days?
Doctor's answer:
After the baby reaches three months, most babies have already stopped drinking milk in one go and are now eating non-stop, sometimes even making gurgling sounds. There are also some curious babies who stop sucking milk as soon as there is any noise or movement around them, clearly finding other things more interesting than drinking milk. Therefore, in medicine, this temporary loss of appetite in babies around four to five months is referred to as the "physiological anorexia period."
