My child is ten months old and doesn't drink formula milk, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Onset time: Laboratory test results: Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Premature baby, just got two teeth, but does not suck on the bottle or drink formula. What kind of assistance is needed: What kind of formula can help me?

Doctor's answer:

How to provide complementary foods to children on time, if provided, pay close attention to the nutritional value of the complementary foods in the near future. Do not force or coerce the child to eat; this will only backfire.
2. Whether or not the child drinks formula is not much related to the type of formula.
Suggestions:
1. It is recommended to wait a few more days before giving formula. Wait until he is hungry, in a good mood, and relaxed, then easily mix a bottle of milk to feed him.
2. When feeding, you can slightly focus his attention. If he takes a few sips and then hesitates, do not force him.
3. In daily life, treat milk as a mysterious and good thing—something you get when you are well-behaved, rather than a chore. Generally, it will improve gradually.
Survival care: This is a relatively difficult training. Take it slow, and do not let the child develop a hatred for milk. Be patient.
