I cant make apple milk

My two month old has a small infection and I was worried we’d struggle to get him to take his antibiotics. The pharmacy let us choose what flavor we wanted and, on a whim, I chose apple. To my surprise and delight, he loves it! He smiles and coos when we give him his antibiotics! A win for Mom and Dad, right? Well, the same evening he started his antibiotics he became extremely fussy with his feeding. After some trial and error, I came to realize that this baby prefers the taste of his antibiotics to regular breast milk. He was eating enough that making a doctors appointment would be unwarranted but still little enough that it was stressing me out. Making apple milk is out of the question, but this baby has previously been obsessed with garlic milk. I ate some garlic to see if that would entice him to feed a bit longer and it worked! Most of the calm, full feeds he’s had these past couple days have been a couple hours after eating garlic.I bought a big bag of garlic at the store last night with plans to roast it. I figure I’ll eat some roasted garlic a couple times a day until he’s through with his antibiotics, and then I’ll wean him off of garlic milk and back onto regular breast milk. I never expected flavor preference to be a part of our breastfeeding journey, but here we are!TL/DR: Baby has significant and clear preference for apple antibiotics over breast milk, and will only compromise and drink breast milk when it’s garlicky. via /r/breastfeeding https://ift.tt/58nOIHx
