Bottle refusal

4 replies

8 month old suddenly refusing the bottle, whether expressed or formula! He regularly took a bottle of expressed from 6 weeks old. Unsure how to approach this? Lots on over the Christmas period and finally feel like I deserve some time to myself. I’ve gone up a teat size and tried a sippy cup but no joy. Any suggestions welcome!

Will he take water from the sippy cup?
Have you increased his dairy foods to compensate?

Mine both refused a bottle full stop but did take a sippy cup when I stopped bf and sent dh in with it.

I am still bf, it’s more so that he takes a bottle for when I’m not around. He will take water from a sippy cup but not my milk

They will probably take if from a cup of you go out and leave them with DH. Both of mine were total bottle refusers but would take some from a cup of I was out. Not a chance though if I was in the house.
