Hi, Can someone give me an idea of what is acceptable for my 8month old to drink. She's never been easy to feed (she's bottle fed)and over the last three weeks I've really struggled to get her to take 12-15 oz per day. Sometimes she'll have 4.5 oz a feed and othertimes its difficult to get a single oz into her. She just pushes the bottle away and cries or chews on the teat. I've tried giving it to her in a cup but she doesn't want to know. I worry because she doesn't take any water or juice either. Suffering from anxiety due to this and have the recommended 20oz figure in my head which she rarely has. She's currently on 4 bottles a day although I've been waking her at about 10.30pm if she's had very little during the day. Advice or reassurance please???
