My son is 8 and 1/2 months old and for the last month or so he's been refusing to drink his whole bottle. He'll maybe drink 2oz with out a fight and if he's really hungry he may drink as much as 5oz, but that's rare. I took him to the dr and she said that I was feeding him to much and to give him less so instead of 4, 7oz bottles a day I switched him to 4, 6oz bottles a day along with his solids of course but nothing changed. He hasn't lost any weight and he seems perfectly happy so I don't think he's sick. He is teething but I don't think that's the cause because if he really wants his bottle he'll drink it no problem. I've been force feeding him and I know your not suppose to do that but he was getting dehydrated. I've tried giving him water and switching to a sippy cup but he refused both. He also is being difficult about eating his solids but it's not as bad. It just seems like he doesn't have the time to eat because he wants to play. Does anyone have any advice? I really need some help.
