Why is my 9-month-old refusing milk after vaccinations and teething?
It is common for infants to experience a temporary decrease in interest in both food and milk following vaccinations or the onset of teething. During these times, offer frequent, smaller, and lower-pressure feeds rather than forcing a full meal. You can provide comfort by using teething roll-ons, offering frozen fruit, or letting them chew on a clean finger. This phase is typically temporary, and your baby’s appetite usually returns once they feel more comfortable; just continue to offer feeds regularly.
