Our 7 month DS has gone on bottle strike. He's mostly bf, apart from his 11pm feed which is formula from a bottle. Occasionally though he has a daytime bottle too if my DW needs to have a break.
He's still fine with the late feed from a bottle (I guess as he's so sleepy), but any daytime ones are noisily rejected, despite him knowing that it's milk and that he needs a drink. He pulls the bottle towards him but as soon as the teat gets to his mouth he turns away.
He's eating 3 meals a day very well, and has a Tommee Tippee cup for water, which he hasn't quite got the hang of yet.
Has he just become clever enough to express a preference for breast feeding, or do we just need to persevere with the cup?
