Need help mummies baby is not drinking milk :(

Hello mummies! When my baby was about to turn 4 months, she was going through the 4 months regression. Baby refused to drink milk and sleep well. Now she is turning 6 months but she still refuses to drink milk properly. She only drinks well when she Cries in hunger which is like 6 hours apart. Sometimes she doesn’t even drink even when it’s been 6 hours since hee last feed. I started her on puree 2 days back since she doesn’t drink milk much. But milk is still important. Any mummies going through the same? It’s really frustrating. She is on combined feeding. She rejects both fm & BM also!

I really feel you on this, it is so stressful when your baby just refuses to drink no matter what you try. Since it has been going on for two months now and she is rejecting both FM and BM, I think it would be good to bring her to see the PD just to be safe, so they can check her weight gain and rule out anything like reflux or oral issues. Starting purees is fine at 6 months but the PD can also advise whether the solids timing might be affecting her appetite for milk. You are doing a great job trying everything for her, hang in there.
