If a 1-month-old baby is not eating formula, there could be several common reasons. First, baby's reflexes may not yet be mature — tongue thrust reflex (baby pushing bottle out with tongue) is natural at this age. Also, if the bottle nipple flow is too fast or too slow, baby may struggle; a baby used to breast nursing may reject the bottle's different flow rate. Formula temperature or taste can also matter (too cold or too hot). Gas colic, reflux, or mild illness (cold, ear infection) can temporarily reduce appetite. If baby hasn't taken formula for more than 6 hours, number of wet diapers has decreased, or signs of discomfort/spitting up appear, consult a pediatrician.
