Patient's question:
My baby is now eight months old and has been exclusively breastfed. He doesn't like drinking formula, and he's not very fond of baby cereal or rice porridge either. During the day, he eats some banana and apple puree. Over the past two days, I've given him tofu, but his stool has contained curds, which might indicate poor digestion. What else can I feed him at this stage? Will he be negatively affected in his development if he only eats breast milk?Doctor's answer:
It's normal for babies to refuse formula after drinking breast milk. It takes time to adjust. After all, breast milk is tastier than formula. Try getting him to use a bottle. It was the same with my family. Later, when I really started working, he seemed to understand and began to drink formula obediently.
