Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old and weighs 12 pounds. During the day, we don't let him breastfeed, but he's almost 3 months old and refuses to drink formula. What should we do? Every time he cries, we force him to drink formula from his mouth, and he manages about 200 milliliters a day. In the morning, he eats half an egg yolk, and in the afternoon or evening, he eats a small bowl of rice porridge. At night, he breastfeeds.Doctor's answer:
The baby is nine months old and doesn't like drinking formula milk. If breastfeeding is sufficient, it's best to continue breastfeeding. If breastfeeding is not sufficient, drinking more soups won't help, and weaning might be considered. Perhaps after weaning, the baby will start drinking formula milk.The above advice is for the question "How should I deal with a 9-month-old baby who weighs 12 pounds and doesn't breastfeed during the day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health and happiness every day!
