Patient's question:
The child tends to put everything into their mouth. Sometimes they nurse well, but often they go about ten hours without nursing. They drink water well and love porridge. The child is now four months old, and this behavior has been observed since they were two months old. All other check-ups are normal. They don't like sweet water. What could be the symptom?Doctor's answer:
Children have already adapted to their mother's soft nipple and need some time to adjust to the bottle. When your child is in a good mood, you can try it a few times. Additionally, you can use a simulation nipple or formula to test it. Note the need for patience from the mother. If a normal child refuses to drink milk, there must be a reason. First, pay attention to pathological conditions: whether the child has fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or other diseases. Check if there are white milk or ulcers, herpes in the mouth. Saline solution can be used to clean the mouth.
