Hi,
I'm back at work in a week and a half and my little boy is breastfed and will not take a bottle/sippy cup or open cup of any description..he literally clamps his little mouth shut..if I do manage to get a teat in his mouth he gags really bad and won't suck. Also tried baby led weaning as I know he still will get the majority of his calories from milk but I figured at least if he was eating a little bit it would help..he puts food near his mouth and sometimes licks it but that's as far as we can get. Tried puréed food on a spoon, clamps his mouth shut. Ive tried different people feeding him, I've tried giving him the spoon, letting him hold the cup, all sorts. I haven't got a clue what to do..I'll be dropping him at nursery at 8am and picking him up at 5.30 so I desperately need a solution as I can't leave him knowing he won't eat or drink any milk for the whole day. I asked my gp and he just said withhold the boob, he won't starve himself (not easy when you've got a screaming hungry baby!) any suggestions at all?? I'm in a panic! He is 6.5 months thanks
