A. Babies can be playful. Also some babies may be more inclined to breastmilk. we have to try and capture their attention. Regarding formula, if the baby is parallely breastfeeding then she may have a nipple confusion. Try getting bottles like Phillips Avent mother feeding bottles or Medela Calma bottles. They will give the same feel as feeding from the mother. Try letting the baby to explore the food. dont worry about the mess. naturally the baby will try to put everything in the mouth. If the baby is teething then that could also interfere with feeding. Gently rub the babys gums and give finger foods which can soothe the gums like frozen carrots under ur supervision.
