Hi all. So here goes the story:
My son is 1 year and 9 months now and since earlier last week, he seems to have lost interest to drink his milk. Prior to this, he had a fever for few days. I brought him to the hospital and the doctor said the fever is just a normal viral fever and true enough, the fever went away after 3 days.
During his fever, he was already drinking less milk. Initially I thought it was because of the fever (he had fever before and whenever he's sick, he will drink less. I guess this is common for everyone) hence he felt uncomfortable so I waited till he was better. However, while getting better and even when he is all good now, he's just refusing to drink his milk.
He used to drink his milk without any problem. In fact, all this while, he could drink more than average (as in more than babies at his age). He used to ask for milk and whenever I made for him, he will drink all.
He used to drink 5 times a day. Each time is 5oz or almost 150ml.
Now he's down to 2 times a day. Each time I will make 5oz but he'll barely drink 2oz.
I feel the changes is too drastic and I'm really curious on the reason.
Btw, he is drinking S26 formula. He has been drinking this formula from when he was 3 months old.
I've tried a new pack of milk, a new bottle and many different ways but it's the same.
He initially refused to drink milk from bottle, then I gave him in a cup with straw. That was fine for 2 days but now he's also refusing straw. He's also refusing to drink directly from the cup.
Anyone who have had the same problem mind sharing anything ?
Baby suddenly don't want to drink milk/bottle, What could be the reasons?
