Hi Please please please can anyone help me. I have read all the suggestions that you have all very kindly given Sittingbourne, I have tried everything that you have suggested but my 6 month old is refusing to suck a bottle, She seems to not know how to suck she pushes it around with her tongue and the only way she gets a bit of water or milk is by biting it a the side of her mouth. I am very very desperate now and today she is very lethargic this has been going on for 5 days now. I have only just started weeing her this week as well. please can anyone help. I think she is now dehydrated as her fontanel is now dipped

You need to phone NHS Direct or take her to A&E if she is refusing to suck and is showing signs of dehydration. How are her nappies?

Do you have a different teat you could try?
