Baby refusing bottles

We’re going through this at the moment too she usually has 4-6oz a feed but atm stops at 1-3 oz not sure y but it’s so stressful as she doesn’t eat much either, hope it improves for you soon x
My girl has dropped a feed now that she’s on solids and isn’t super interested in feeding that much atm. Even her food has decreased slightly since she’s been teething and had a fever last week. It’s usually just a phase though so hopefully your baby will be back to her bottles in the next few days
We are exactly the same this week im so glad ive seen it. Normally she has 4 7oz bottles but we are down to 3 bottles now varies between 6-2oz. Ive been trying to do her a dream feed around 10pm just to boost her intake up. Its so stressful!! Xx
@Lauren does the dream feed work?? My baby woke up in hysterics a little while ago so I tried giving her more milk and she just refused it. We used to dream feed when she was little tiny baby and I randomly suggested this to my husband today too. It’s hard to know what to do 🥺
@Firdaws it’s desperate!! I get so stressed out about it. I am wondering if I need to even top her up with extra vitamins because she’s definitely not having enough. I know people say “food before one is just for fun” as well so it makes me more paranoid about the bottles being refused x
Im going through this with my 9 month old. I spoke with gp and health visitor and they didn't seem worried. Just adviced me to put full fat milk in foods like porridge Weatabix x
Awww it's most likely just a phase we've had a few weeks here and there like that then the appetite returns. Is she still getting wet nappies? Does she drink water? Has she got any fave foods that you could offer more often? Xx
