Baby's dietary issues have always been a focus of attention for parents and friends. If a baby suddenly experiences a decrease in appetite. Parents will have various concerns, worried about their baby's physical abnormalities, and want to understand in a timely manner. Let's take a look at why 16 month old babies don't drink milk very much?
1. Baby's illness: Under normal circumstances, a 16 month old baby can eat a lot of complementary foods. If the baby does not eat much or drink milk during this period, it may be due to the baby's physical illness, such as stomatitis, gastroenteritis, colds, fever, and the baby's special allergic constitution. Parents should pay attention to taking the baby for a comprehensive examination and provide targeted adjustments.
2. Distraction: As the baby grows, they have a great curiosity about things around them, especially their hearing and vision, which have greatly improved. When drinking milk, as long as there is a sound around, immediately stop drinking milk, immerse yourself in it, and search for something they find interesting.
3. Interested in complementary foods: Some babies start adding complementary foods relatively late, and after being exposed to many new foods, they are not very interested in milk with only one taste and want to eat more appetizing foods. So parents should pay attention to adding more complementary foods to their babies.
