The phenomenon of aversion to milk usually occurs in babies over 4 or 5 months old. Usually after 4 to 6 months, it is recommended that the baby start eating complementary food. Some babies like to eat complementary food because they are more interested in new things, which leads to their aversion to milk. But can the baby not drink milk?
Be careful about your baby's growth during lactation.
Babies who live on milk for about three months need to be examined if they are disgusted with milk. The time of breast fatigue depends on the situation of each child. The most important thing about breast fatigue is to pay attention to the baby's growth, such as whether the height and weight are improving.
It is not recommended to eat complementary food as a staple food.
When is it normal not to drink milk? Before the child is two years old, we will think that drinking milk is better, and it is the staple food before the age of one. Basically, before the age of two, it is normal for half to drink milk and half to eat solid food. Even after three years old, milk or dairy products can be used as snacks, and weaning is not recommended.
Baby hates milk? Just look at physical and psychological reasons.
The reason why the baby hates milk may be that he is really sick and uncomfortable. The following may cause the baby's aversion to milk.
I. Physiological reasons
1. Thrush
Thrush is a fungal infection, the most obvious feature of which is aversion to milk. This is a unique oral disease, which often appears in infants. There will be white spots on the cheeks, gums, tongue and throat in the mouth or lesions that have spread into a whole, which will make the baby unable to eat milk, which is very uncomfortable.
2. Cold inflammation
A common situation is that the baby has no signs of catching a cold, but the examination shows that the throat is inflamed, but because there is no fever, I don't know that the baby is ill.
Grow teeth
If the baby is six to eight months old, he may not want to drink milk because his teeth and gums are uncomfortable. At this time, you can put the tray in the refrigerator to cool it, so that the baby can bite down and reduce the swelling.
4. Hand, foot and mouth disease, herpetic angina
Hand, foot and mouth disease and herpes zoster may cause blisters or ulcers in the mouth, which will be very stinging and uncomfortable for the baby, and may cause high fever or no fever at all in the process. It should be noted that herpes infection can make the baby's gums swell and even bleed.
5. Gastrointestinal discomfort
Parents can pay attention to whether their children have sick vomiting, or long-term diarrhea and constipation. See a doctor in time to help judge whether there are any special gastrointestinal diseases that need treatment. As for flatulence and constipation, they are also common in outpatient clinics. Remind children to increase their intake of water and fiber after starting to eat complementary food, especially after one year old, so as to reduce the possibility of constipation.
Second, psychological reasons.
If there is no problem with the physical examination, it is necessary to return to the child's psychological state. It may be because of changing the formula with different tastes, or changing from pure breastfeeding to mixed feeding or formula milk, and becoming unwilling to drink milk. Some babies are very sensitive and smart, and may be forced to feed them only a few times, which leads to the baby's' feeding' and' changing the environment' and not eating.
Therefore, we can start to understand the baby's aversion to breastfeeding from the environment where the baby is located, such as nanny's home and early education center. Whether it is different from eating at home. In fact, after four or five months, the baby started playing again and stopped eating, which is very normal. So it is very important to breastfeed under what circumstances. To avoid people walking, find a quiet room, let the baby drink milk without interference, and reduce the situation that the baby doesn't drink milk because of fun.
What should babies in different periods do if they don't like milk?
The baby was five months ago.
If you start to eat complementary food, try to put milk in the complementary food and let the baby drink it together. It doesn't matter at all, as long as it is enough for the baby's total milk in one day. At this time, the algorithm of total milk quantity is probably the baby's weight multiplied by 120CC. However, some babies who are extremely disgusted with milk will refuse to eat as soon as they smell or taste milk. It is still necessary to feed milk and complementary food separately, so as not to make the baby reluctant to eat even complementary food.
A baby of 7 or 8 months.
At this time, it is not recommended to take the baby's complementary food as the staple food. However, if the baby really doesn't drink milk at all, you can pour some milk in the complementary food as mentioned above, or some babies are unwilling to drink milk until they wake up naturally, so they have to feed it when the baby gets up in the morning, takes a nap and falls asleep at night. Always remember to clean your baby's mouth to prevent thrush. If the baby already has deciduous teeth, pay attention to prevent bottle-shaped tooth decay, otherwise it will affect the permanent teeth.

Therefore, if children have been eating three meals as their staple food, they should pay attention to increasing the quality and variety of solid food, so that the baby can develop a good habit of not being picky about food. It is suggested that milk can be used as snacks to supplement nutrition. For children over one year old, the total milk quantity is about 500 ~ 800 cc. Don't drink too much milk, which will affect the quality of the staple food of three meals.
