What should I do if my baby stops breastfeeding and doesn't drink formula

  Usually, the first thing babies come into contact with is breast milk, and later on, as the baby grows, mothers will try to weaning them. Due to the baby's habit of breastfeeding, they may feel very uncomfortable when exposed to formula, and may refuse to drink formula. Sometimes, they may vomit immediately after eating it. So, what if the baby stops breastfeeding and doesn't drink formula?

  If a baby is unwilling to drink milk powder during the weaning process, adults can try to give the baby a different flavor or brand of milk powder. If the baby is still unwilling to accept the formula after switching, then adding some sugar to the formula can give it a slight sweetness, making it easier for the baby to accept.

  Alternatively, when mothers feed their babies formula, they can specifically choose a nipple that is close to the nipple, so that the baby can also feel the sensation of sucking on the nipple while sucking. In addition, when choosing milk powder, it is best for mothers to choose a flavor that their baby usually likes, preferably one that is closer to the taste of pure breast milk, which is easier for the baby to accept.

  At the same time, more dairy products can be fed to the baby. Adults can use milk powder as some complementary food for the baby, such as making biscuits for the baby with milk powder, or steaming small Mantou for the baby with milk powder, so that the baby can slowly adapt to the taste of milk powder. Mothers should pay attention to waiting for their babies to fully accept formula before completely quitting it, so that the nutrition can be maintained.
