Patient's question:
After the baby weaned, they would rather be hungry than drink formula milk. As a mother, it's certainly hard to understand the baby. But if you don't use some clever tricks, what methods can help get the baby to drink formula milk? What should the mother do?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of milk fatigue in infants generally occurs around six months of age, and some infants may even experience it around four months. The reasons for this phenomenon are multifaceted. As infants' physiological development and sensory functions mature, they begin to show curiosity about their surroundings and enjoy exploring. Of course, they may get distracted by eating, which is the main reason they become bored with breast milk. The occurrence of milk fatigue does not necessarily mean the infant is malnourished. If the infant's growth curve is normal and their activity levels remain as usual without other abnormal symptoms, it is similar to how some physiological discomforts (such as after vaccinations, teething, or gas) can cause babies to refuse milk. In such cases, the situation usually returns to normal within a few days, and parents do not need to bear too much responsibility.
