What should I do if a five-month-old baby refuses to eat milk?

Patient's question:

My sister's baby is already about five months old, but the baby suddenly stopped eating milk. Previously, the baby was eating well, but what happened now? The family is a bit worried. How should it be adjusted?

Doctor's answer:

Infants usually experience a five-month milk fatigue. This is not something to worry about; it is a normal phenomenon. There are many situations where infants may refuse milk. It could be that the taste of the formula doesn't suit the baby. As the infant grows, external things can pique their curiosity. At this stage, the infant can be given small amounts of food-like items, or breastfeeding can be offered. When a five-month-old infant grows, the first thing is that their taste preferences begin to change. Every baby's breast may feel tired, so it is better to drink some porridge.
