Refusing bottle at 9.5 months

[Rach & Bumpy]

Hi all

The last month or so Brooke has dropped her afternoon bottle and now has a banana instead.

Thing is, she is also starting to refuse her morning and bedtime bottle. In the morning she used to have 8oz no problem. I am now struggling to get 2/3 down her. So i leave it half an hour and try again, she'll take another 2oz if i'm lucky. Then she'll have her ready brek.

Her bedime bottled was the same, 8oz straight down no problems. Now she'll only have 2/3 again. I start her bedtime bottle at 6.30pm (same time as always) she used to go to bed at 7pm. She is now going at 9pm as i am fighting to get 2oz down her.

I am at my wits end and don't knowwhat else to try.

Surely she wouldn't wean herself off formula so young?

She's not a big baby at all and is only just 19lbs and 9.5 months.

Any ideas anyone??

Have you tried a cup? Caitlyn stopped the 2 4oz bottles she had because they were hurting her teeth when she sucked on them x

i haven't hun, not yet. but i will give that a go. thanks

does she just sip it throughout the day or do i sit down with her and give it to her?

See how she takes to it. I wouldn't leave it out for more than an hour though, so maybe if she doesn't take to it, give her 3-4oz at a time over the day?
