Patient's question:
When parents use a bottle to feed formula to their babies, the babies refuse to suck the nipple. Does anyone know why?Doctor's answer:
Some babies dislike drinking from a pacifier because they are not familiar with the taste of formula milk. Therefore, when parents use a bottle to feed formula milk to their babies, they should first squeeze some breast milk into the bottle to help the baby gradually adapt to the bottle. Then, slowly increase the frequency of using the bottle and gradually switch to drinking formula milk. When switching to formula milk, you can start by making it slightly diluted and drip a few drops into the baby's mouth to let them taste the flavor.
