Babies need milk for growth and sustenance after they are born. Breastfed babies may not find it as enjoyable as non-breastfed babies to consume milk. Even if you're using a formula, the taste might not appeal to your infant. However, there are ways to get your baby to drink milk when they don't want to. All babies need milk for growth so it is important to get them to drink milk from an early age. Your baby can get nutrition from other sources, but milk is the healthiest food for infants and is likely to be the easiest to get.
