What should I do if the baby doesn't drink formula?

Patient's question:

Doctor, our 3-month-old baby doesn't drink formula milk. Is there any good way to improve this?

Doctor's answer:

The baby does not drink formula milk mainly because the baby is attached to breast milk. Since the baby is currently primarily breastfed, they cannot accept other dairy products. At this time, it is important to add complementary foods to the baby appropriately, starting with rice powder, yolk, and fruit puree, gradually moving on to dishes like vegetable and meat porridge, and soft noodles. After adjusting their taste, the baby can gradually accept the taste of formula milk. You can gradually increase the amount of formula milk by giving it in small amounts and multiple times. It may be related to the change in weather. You can add more complementary foods for the child and pay attention to keeping warm.
