Hey hun, as the day went on she just was not interested

she has been much better with food though, so have been mixing her milk into everything I can and she is happily eating it. My OH is off work today so he's going to get a different teat for bottle? Try and see if its the teat she's taken a sudden dislike to? Other than that were just going to have to keep offering her milk throughout the day and pray she takes some, if she doesnt then im not going to push her, its stressing her and me out

The health visitor did say maybe she'll eventually just go back to how she used to feed in her own time, I hope so, she was a much happier baby then!

Pleased to hear she is eating better today

One less stress, however sorry to hear she isn't drinking her milk.

Couple of things come to mind that Jas has been through at times so thought I'd share as might possibly help or might not (in which case ignore).

Jas went right off her bottles when the teat was too slow for her, when we moved on to the next stage teat she was downing full bottles again.
Also when her teeth are playing up she doesn't want to drink, as apparently sucking can hurt them due to blood being drawn to the gums. So we tried making her milk almost cold and she drank much better. Or cooling her gums before feeding her (possibly some teething gel if it was really bad).

Just a thought as i'm not sure where you LO is at, but hope it all rights itself soon hun.

Babies are so stressful when they won't eat
