After the baby is born, they need to drink milk. Even babies who have already lost breast milk need to continue drinking formula until around the age of 3. Babies will experience a period of aversion to milk, and their appetite will sharply decrease, which makes parents very anxious. So, how long will the 15 month aversion period last?
A 15 month old baby enters the period of aversion to milk, which usually lasts for half a month. Some children may have a longer aversion to milk, possibly up to one month. When a child reaches the stage of aversion to breastfeeding, it is not advisable to force them to breastfeed, as this can easily lead to fear in the child. As a 15 month old baby can already eat a lot of food, parents need to start with complementary foods to supplement their baby's nutrition.
When a child is tired of breastfeeding, parents can change the feeding method. At this time, feeding the baby should be more flexible and not follow the usual routine. The principle should be to have small and multiple meals, and then feed the baby when they want to. Parents can also consume their children's physical energy through games, play, and other means. At this time, the baby will become hungry faster, and their appetite will increase, thereby improving their aversion to milk.
Because babies have a strong curiosity and are attracted to external things, parents should create a good feeding environment when babies are in a period of aversion to breastfeeding, and try to choose quiet and undisturbed places for babies to breastfeed.
