Due to various reasons, babies sometimes experience a phenomenon of aversion to breastfeeding. As babies have a period of aversion to breastfeeding, many parents are unsure whether their baby's aversion to breastfeeding is due to the aversion period or physical discomfort. Therefore, they are very confused and worried, afraid of delaying their baby's health. So, what symptoms will occur during the baby's aversion period?
The most obvious symptom of a baby's aversion to milk is the rejection of feeding. When a baby experiences aversion to milk, it is mainly divided into physiological aversion and pathological aversion. Generally, when the baby reaches 4-6 months old, they will enter the aversion period. If the baby does not have any fever or discomfort during this period, but simply resists feeding, there is no need to worry.
If the baby has other physical discomfort symptoms in addition to a decrease in milk intake, it is important to note that it may be a pathological aversion to milk, and parents need to take the baby to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. And for physiological aversion to milk, although parents do not need to worry about their babies' health, they should also be careful not to force their babies to drink milk, but should change the formula appropriately and try to increase complementary foods.
It is normal for babies to develop aversion to drinking milk during the period of milk aversion, which is a symbol of their growth. During this period, parents must pay attention to their babies' gastrointestinal health. If the baby experiences diarrhea or indigestion when changing formula or adding complementary foods, it is necessary to pause trying and gradually complete this process.
