Babies need to be breastfed, and it is best for mothers to breastfeed their children because breast milk contains more comprehensive nutrients and is the most suitable food for babies. Some mothers may notice that their children are not breastfeeding properly, which may be due to their aversion to breastfeeding. So, what are the reasons for four month old babies' aversion to milk?
A four month old baby may have entered a period of aversion to milk. Generally, after three to four months of birth, there is a period of aversion to breastfeeding, during which the baby does not eat properly. This is a physiological symptom of the baby, and after this period of time, the aversion to milk can disappear on its own, so no special measures need to be taken.
When a child develops aversion to milk, parents should pay attention to observing the baby's behavior after feeding. If the child has no abnormal symptoms, it belongs to physiological aversion to milk. If the baby experiences discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, and vomiting after feeding, it can easily lead to pathological aversion to milk.
If a child feels uncomfortable after breastfeeding, they naturally do not want to breastfeed. At this time, parents need to find the reason for their child's discomfort after breastfeeding. Usually, children with lactose intolerance or protein allergies will experience abnormal symptoms after feeding. At this point, parents can choose to give their babies deeply hydrolyzed milk powder or lactose free milk powder. If the problem still cannot be solved, the child needs to be taken to the hospital.
