Baby rejecting fm & bm.

Hi mummies, since LO was 3 months old. There will be days where he refused to drink fm & bm. He will cry and push out milk bottle when we try feeding him. Doctor says LO might had been sick of milk already and suggest sleep feeding. We just went for baby 4 month old vaccine recently and doctor gave us green light to feed him solid. Since yesterday the same cycle repeats and LO was refusing fm & bm so I am thinking of giving him solid. Any suggestion on what kind of ingredient is most suitable? Will baby be able to swallow mash apple or banana? How many times per day can I give baby solid?

Even with some solids, milk should still be the main source of nutrition at this stage. My 3 month old sometimes will only drink 10ml of milk from the bottle, so it’s quite frustrating too, but I just try to persist, and latch on if she doesn’t take enough from the bottle. Upsizing the teats has helped to get baby to drink more from the bottle. For started foods, banana can be a bit too thick/starchy, so it’d be good to add some breast/formula milk to make it more liquid. The apple needs to be pureed, not mashed, especially since your LO is only 4 months old. You can try the store bought ones first eg. Gerber brand... more like apple sauce consistency, so it’s easier to go down and less likely for baby to choke.

Bring baby out of the house to try. Or get baby drowsy while lying head up on a stroller by patting, then feed just before baby falls asleep. I’m also struggling.. hang in there!
