2. Oral problems: Problems such as oral ulcers or dental caries can also affect the baby\’s eating.
3. New milk powder: Some babies will feel repelled by new brands or flavors of milk powder.
4. Digestive problems: Problems such as flatulence or diarrhea can also cause babies to refuse feeding.

2. How to judge whether a baby is not feeding
1. Observe the baby\’s performance: If the baby keeps crying or sticking out his tongue, it is probably because he does not want to drink milk.
2. Measure body temperature: If the baby has symptoms such as fever, it will also affect his appetite.
3. Observe the diaper: If the humidity of the baby\’s diaper decreases significantly, it means that he has not taken in enough liquid.
4. Observe stool: If the baby has problems such as constipation or diarrhea, it may also cause him to refuse to eat.
5. Measure weight: If your baby\’s weight has dropped, it means he is not getting enough nutrition.

3. Adjust milk powder: If the baby is repelled by a certain brand or flavor of milk powder, parents can try changing to a different brand or flavor of milk powder.
4. Check the oral cavity: If your baby has oral problems, you can clean the oral cavity with warm water, or go to the hospital to see a doctor for treatment.
