Baby refusing milk

[izzlesnizzle]

My 8 mth old has been drinking less and less milk over the last couple of weeks. Today she has totally refused it. She usually has avent so I tried her with NUK with the floppy latex teat and she completely rejected it so I put it into an avent bottle of which she will usually take 2ozs per feeding from but she wouldn't have any of it.

I have given her 3 yogurts today which seems crazy. One at 11am coz she dropped that bottle weeks ago, one at lunchtime and ended up giving her another at 3.30pm coz she totally refused her 3pm bottle. She ate it but looked at it as if to say "im not hungry, why are you forcing me to eat this?"

It could be her gums hurting and ive tried putting teething gel on 20 mins before a bottle but that didn't help. She doesn't seem in pain today.

I made a cauliflower cheese for dinner with the 3pm bottle she wouldn't have but she wouldn't eat it. Im hoping she will be hungry at bedtime so will have a full bottle but the last week shes been going to sleep on only 3 or 4ozs. She isn't sttn at the moment but doesn't seem to want food in the middle of the night, just wants cuddles and as soon as shes in bed with us she goes fast asleep.

I don't get it, its giving me a headache.

My lo is just over 7 months has practically dropped all her milk! I'm so shocked its happened so quickly. She is having 3 meals a day and only maybe 5oz at bed time (that's on a good night she often has 2-3oz or none!) maybe 2-4oz in the night and 2-4oz in the morning and then won't take any in the day!! I think she loves her food and not bothered about her milk!! I offer her water through the day so she doesn't get dehydrated. She seems healthy and happy to me and I'm getting her weighed monthly so far so good. As long as she is heathy and happy then ill run with her!! Hth xx
