Patient's question:
Can I wean him since he doesn't drink formula and has little breast milk? Will he drink formula well after weaning?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor said they could provide complementary foods, but he doesn't drink them well either. He only eats a little each time.
What kind of help is needed: How can I get my child to drink more formula?
Doctor's answer:
During the weaning period and the period of introducing complementary foods, mothers need to be especially patient because although babies are small, they are always selective about what they eat. Advice: If your breast milk supply is very low, you can stop breastfeeding and feed the baby exclusively with formula and complementary foods. At five months, the baby can start gradually increasing the variety of complementary foods. When introducing complementary foods, if the baby doesn’t eat it all at once, continue offering the next meal. Don’t feel sorry for the baby and skip the meal just because they didn’t eat it all. You can now start introducing a quarter of a yolk to the baby. Introduce one new food per week. If there are no allergic reactions after introducing a food for a week, you can introduce another new food.
