Help!! DS is refusing the bottle...
I am going to cry....
DS was 10 mos yesterday and was taking 3 bottles a day each 8oz. Both yesterday and today he has taken just ONE bottle in the am and not even a full 8 oz bottle (he is just pushing the other bottles away when I offer them to him and crying.) I have been giving him whatever food he will take so he is not hungry. I am more concerned tonight because his diaper has been dry all afternoon and I do not want him to be dehydrated.
The only think I can think of is maybe he is teething. I am at a loss. Anyone have any advice!!
TIA

Re: Help!! DS is refusing the bottle...
Try putting the milk on a sippy cup. That might work.
If he is teething, the sucking might be hurting him.
If you are concerned with dehydration, give him some juice mixed with water.

Re: Help!! DS is refusing the bottle...
Could you make him some oatmeal made with milk just to get some more fluids in him?

I just gave him a huge bowl of oatmeal made with alot of formula, it was really, really watery.

Great minds think alike . I hope this little phase passes soon. Maybe it's teething as a PP mentioned.

Yes, I would definatly try the sippy cup. It doesn't hurt to get him used to it early while also giving him fluids. DD loves water in her sippy cup.
