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

Patient's question:

The baby is almost three months old. Recently, it hasn't been drinking formula milk and only breastfeeding. However, the breast milk may not be enough, and the baby might not be full and cry a lot! If I want to wean the baby, how should I do it? Previously, I was feeding both formula milk and breast milk together. Before, the baby could finish 150 milliliters of formula milk.

Doctor's answer:

The milk supply is not very much, the baby needs to be breastfed more often, so the next time there will be more, otherwise it will only decrease. The mother needs to eat more nutritious foods, such as soybean and pig trotter soup, fresh fish soup, and peanut rib soup, etc. Once the baby recovers from breastfeeding, they will generally be resistant to formula.
First, decide on a good formula that is close to breast milk and has a mild, light taste, as this will be better accepted by the baby. Next, choose a good bottle, considering factors like material and size. A realistic nipple can also increase the baby's resistance to some extent.
