My DS has been bottle fed from birth.
Started weaning him 1st Dec- gave him a little baby porridge just before his 4pm and 8pm bottles.
For the last week he hardly has his bottle
Out of 6oz he has 4oz on average. Sometimes he will only have 1oz.
He loves having his porridge and wolf's it down when we give it to him. But bottles just get pushed away.
Tried sippy cups, changed the teats to the size 3s, tried spoon feeding him milk, tried free flow bottles/cups. Tried giving him a bit of water...He drank a few mouthfuls but that's all.
Any suggestions?
I'm concerned he isn't getting enough fluid.
Also his weight is under at the moment so he is being monitored so he can't really carry on like this.
TIA
