Why doesn't a 7-month-old baby drink formula?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
There can be several common reasons why a 7-month-old baby refuses formula:
Change in taste and texture: At 7 months, solids are usually introduced, the baby discovers new flavors and may find plain formula "boring."
Teething: Gum sensitivity from teething can make sucking or using a bottle temporarily uncomfortable.
Sign of illness: Sore throat, ear infection, or general discomfort can suppress appetite.
Reflux or gas: Discomfort after eating can cause the baby to associate formula with discomfort.
Amount too much: As solid portion sizes grow, formula need decreases; the baby may be refusing simply because they're full.
In most cases it's a temporary situation that resolves on its own within 24-48 hours. However, if the baby has fever, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or stays in dry diapers for longer than 8 hours, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
