Baby not drinking milk

Hello, my baby girl is 6mths 25 days now and has been refusing milk since we changed to formula 2 (for 6 months baby onwards). We had to force feed her everytime and she will cry like crazy. Even so, she still did not finish. We always prepare 150ml and feed every 4 hours as recommended by doctor. Anyone can advice if this is normal and how to make her finish her milk?

Hi mummy, you don't need to straight away give your girl stage 2 formula milk 🧐. Start by mixing the milk with stage 1 and 2 (e.g 2 scoops of stage 1 combine with 1 scoop of stage 2, when she is comfortable with this, you can slowly follow by 1 scoop of stage 1 combine with 2 scoops of stage 2 etc.) That is how I transit with my lo's formula milk stages.

Thank you mummy Ling for sharing! She's drinking better now. Phew!

You can stay with stage 1 all the way as it's nutritionally the most similar to breast milk and also better regulated. Stage 2 onwards may have more added sugar.
