I been feeding my baby breast milk for the past 4 months. It's very tiring but on the other hands, I want my baby to be healthy and I never stop of pumping. But recently, my milk getting lesser and my baby going to stay with my parent at Kota Bharu whereby is very far from me. That why, I let my baby stop breast milk.
At first, I though can let her drink the breast milk if m able to pump out if not I just let her drink formula milk but end up, she reject other milk and want only breast milk. I'm so heart ache when she didn't drink milk. I'm so worry when she keep on pushing away the bottle and cry out loud. At that time, I have difficult day when she keep crying for the breast milk. My hubby stop me from forcing baby to drink milk. Luckily my hubby able to talk to me and we try slowly and not force. When she started to drink milk, both of us so happy and not to interrupt her when she is drinking it and now she had use to the formula milk
Usually baby will have certain time to refuse to drink milk. There's a lot of reason why they reject to drink milk.
1) Because of the milk temperature
2) Because of the room temperature
3) Because they not hungry yet
4) Because of gassy tummy
5) Because of the nipple
6) Because of the milk (too thin or too thick)
7) And many many more
Anyway, if your baby reject to drink milk, Don't panic, try slowly. When you feel frustrated with the baby crying, try to soothe her or him 1st. I have the experience, when she is crying, is hard for her to be feed. Let them cool down 1st. Don't force them to drink milk because like that will make them more uncomfortable. If you have any better experience, please to share with us especially for those frustrating mom.
