My sunny happy gorgeous baby boy (7 months old today) has turned into a monster! He's been teething for the last month, with one of his top big teeth appearing yesterday, (he's had the two bottom front ones for about 3 weeks.). He's also had a vrial thing called Roseola. So theres been a lot going on clearly. Now though, he will NOT drink milk of any sort in any sort of bottle or cup, or take his dummy. The dummy is a disaster becuase he's always gone to bed and slept really well with it and now struggles to get to sleep and wakes up 2 or 3 times a night.
He loves solids though and eats 3 good meals a day, into which I try and cram milk but its not nearly as much as he took a few days ago - typically he was having 3 big meals plus 2 x 7oz bottles and 2 breastfeeds in a 24 hour period. He still will nurse now, but no other milk will pass his lips! I'd stopped BFing in the day since about 4 months as have gone back to work so the supply is small and I've sold my breast pump.
Should I be concerned about all/ any of this? Is it just a phase? Shall I keep trying with both dummy and bottle or just take the hit and hope he learns to sleep/ doesn't dehydrate???? (He will drink siupd of water from a cup which rules out my 'it hurts to suck' theory.)
Help.
