What should I do if my baby recently refuses to drink milk?

Patient's question:

For over a month, but my milk supply is insufficient, so I need to digest milk. At first, I was eating BaYinMei milk, which was quite good, but recently I stopped drinking milk. However, my milk is still not enough. What should I do? Even adding glucose to the milk doesn't help. How...

Doctor's answer:

This is your baby's weaning period, which usually lasts for about half a month. During this time, the baby's milk intake may increase. This temporary loss of appetite is known as the "physiological anorexia period." Its characteristics include normal growth and development, high energy levels, and only a temporary decrease in milk intake. Typically, appetite usually returns to normal within about a month.
Advice: Although the baby may eat less during this stage, most can still maintain the expected growth, and there is no evidence to suggest it will interfere with intellectual development. Therefore, you can refer to the growth curve chart to monitor your baby's growth. If there is no significant deviation from the expected growth curve, it is best to let nature take its course. I hope my response brings you comfort, and I wish your baby healthy growth!
