I know that sounds ridiculous but please bear with me!
I keep trying but the problem is that he won't take the bottle properly. He's nearly 9 months and I've been trying for at least a month but he will just have sips of formula throughout the day as if it's water - never a proper feed. If I'm very lucky he'll drink about 120ml in a day which I know is not enough. I've tried different bottles, I've tried letting him get really hungry, I've tried not feeding him overnight (just once - this ruined all of us sleep-wise so probably won't be repeated for a while! If at all.)
I've done all the 'wrong' things - always breastfed to sleep, breastfed on demand through the night (I am happy with these decisions but yes, I do believe they might be contributing to the current situation).
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you in advance.
