my baby is refusing formula?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Formula rejection can be worrying for parents, but it's often temporary. Common causes include teething discomfort, an upper respiratory infection, sensitivity to taste changes, or recent introduction to solids.

Things you can try: check formula temperature (not too hot or cold), check bottle nipple hole (should flow at right speed), quiet the environment, and try again a few hours later without pressure. If your baby stays hydrated (at least 4-6 wet diapers daily), formula rejection for up to 24 hours usually isn't a problem.

See your pediatrician if: rejection lasts over 24 hours, fever, fussiness, vomiting, or poor weight gain accompany it.
