10 month old refusing milk and becoming fussy with solids

4 replies

LittleMissNorty · 28/03/2008 21:00

My DD is 10 months and has been refusing her afternoon and bedtime bottle of milk for the last 3 days. This means she's only getting 7oz milk a day. She's also really cut down on the amount of solids in the last 2 days, but think she has had a bug as we've had one episode of vomiting and 3 of diarhorrea yesterday.

She is teething with top 2 teeth, and is being treated for oral thrush....

I've tried a cup - no luck, tried my cup - no luck....she just pushes it away and purses her lips

Do I worry? or more to the point, how do I not worry...

Any advice? TIA

My friend's ds did exactly this, and he's a thriving 17 month old now

If she has a bug, though, she may go back to her milk when she feels 'right' - its amazing how LOs know whats best for their insides, and milk probably isn't!

As for not worrying...not sure thats possible with babies, but I find giving plenty of water and knowing they are at least hydrated helps

Sorry, half asleep still - my dd did this because of a bug, for nearly two weeks with a tummy bug (diarrhoea and a bit of vomiting) at 11 months. She lost weight and I worried, but as soon as she felt better she ate like a horse and was fine

Friend's ds just went off milk, and hasn't gone back on it - but he eats plenty of dairy.
