This situation might be due to a bit of spring growth pain, which generally requires attention to diet, more sun exposure, and supplementing with some calcium. It’s also recommended to observe the situation. You can also consider giving your child a warm compress at night, feeding some calcium, getting more sun, adjusting the diet if necessary, drinking more milk, and using some bone soup to cook noodles, etc. Observe the situation. It is suggested to wash with warm water and to visit a regular hospital for relevant checks promptly to clarify your child’s condition and avoid delaying the illness.

An 8-month-old baby suddenly refuses to drink from the bottle or formula milk, opting only for breast milk and solid foods, which might indicate the onset of weaning period. You can try feeding with a cup or a small spoon, and gradually reduce the concentration of breast milk to help the baby adapt to formula milk. Generally, weaning period does not affect the baby’s growth and intellectual development.
