When a baby reaches four months old, they suddenly develop aversion to milk and do not drink much milk every day, with less than half of their daily milk intake. At this point, parents only realize that the baby has entered the period of aversion to milk. Faced with the situation where the baby has entered the period of aversion to milk, parents are helpless. What should be done during the four month period of aversion to milk?
After a four month old baby enters the period of aversion to milk, parents can adopt the approach of eating small meals and increasing the frequency of breastfeeding. This way, even if the baby only eats a little bit each time, the total amount of milk consumed does not decrease too much, and it does not have much impact on the baby's growth.
When a baby is tired of breastfeeding, parents can take the baby outdoors to breastfeed, such as on the balcony or downstairs in the community, to change the environment for breastfeeding. This way, when the baby sees a new scenery, they will forget about their aversion to breastfeeding and unconsciously drink a little more milk. When a baby gets tired of a certain environment, they look for a new one.
Parents can exercise more with their babies in their daily lives, such as helping them turn over, playing games with them, etc., which can consume their energy and make them feel hungry. When a baby is hungry, they will naturally drink milk more smoothly. The duration of a baby's aversion to milk is not very long, usually a few weeks. As long as parents persist, the baby can drink milk as usual after this aversion period, so parents who are tired of milk should not be overly anxious.
