Hi,
Just wanted a bit of advice. My DD is 10.5mo, was EBF to 5m and since then FF. Usually loves her milk but since starting nursery 2-3 weeks ago has had cold after cold after cold plus we discovered last week, a urinary tract infection too and is on antibiotics. (So fairly stressful few weeks for her). :(
She usually gets 5-6oz 4 times a day, but from she started nursery shes been refusing bottles. Today she took about 4oz first thing, 1oz before am nap, 3oz before pm nap, (and 4oz after as I was worried she hadn't drank enough) then has refused bedtime bottle completely.
I wouldn't worry too much except she's still not great with a cup- if I give it to her to use she shakes it and tips it all over the floor and if I hold it she will only take a few sips in a day.
She was very unwell last week with her urinary infection- we had to take her to A+E as she was so dehydrated, but she seems to be well on the mend now and plenty of wet nappies.
Any advice on what I should be doing? I'm assuming this is fairly normal at this age as she's mean't to be off formula at 1yo anyway? What have others done? Do I try cows milk even tho guidelines say not til 1, or try and persevere with FF? Also, What type of cup do you advise? Have tried free flow Boots one, and various tommee tippee ones (first cup and explora first sips cup with and without valve in and 12m+ active sports cup), and no luck.
Thanks in advance!
