Many children grow up on breast milk, and when they are given complementary foods, their mothers will consider giving them up breast milk and letting them consume formula milk. Some children have become accustomed to breastfeeding and do not catch a cold with formula milk, which is a headache for parents. So, why don't weaned children drink formula milk?
Children can be weaned when they are around two years old. The reason why they should be breastfed until they are two years old is not only to consider the nutrition of breast milk, but also to give them a better sense of security, which is beneficial for their physical and mental development. After breastfeeding the baby, the mother can let him eat formula milk powder. Maybe the child won't start eating it because the taste of formula milk is different from that of breast milk. The bottle and nipple are also different.
Parents should not rush to let their children drink formula, they should give them time to adapt. Parents can take some measures to mix milk powder with the juice they usually like to drink. Gradually, they will adapt. At the beginning, they can add more juice and less milk powder, gradually increasing the amount of milk powder. Gradually, the child will also accept milk powder.
A child can still go hungry without drinking formula, perhaps to see if their mother really doesn't know how to breastfeed. When the child finds out that their mother will no longer breastfeed, they will gradually accept drinking formula milk.
Mothers can also replace the baby's bottle with a softer nipple. If the child doesn't like to drink milk powder, it may be because the nipple is too hard. Replace the pacifier with a softer one to give the child a process of adaptation.
