Wasn't sure whether to put this in weaning, breast/bottle feeding, or sleep........as it's a bit of all of them! What's going on.....

[FAQ]

with DS3 - he's 9 1/2 months old. FF. was down to about 4/5 bottles (8oz) a day, and sleeping through 8-6ish. Never really eaten much - although we have sudden glimmers of hope (sometimes with BLW sometimes with me giving him stuff on a spoon).

Recently he's been having bottles up to 7/8 (or more!) a day, waking through the night (he's currently lying in his cot babbling away loudly to himself) and hardly touching any food at all...... in any shape or method of feeding.

What's going on?????

hehe - I wish he'd drink water I've been trying for months to get him to drink some - but as soon as the bottle hits his lips and he tastes it's not milk he bursts into tears

aww bless mine isnt too keen on water. He associates bottles with milk so beaker for water? might not work but im fast running out of ideas.

oh yes we've tried the beakers (a whole array that were still in the cupboard from our failed attempts to get DS1 to drink from a cup/beaker/bottle LOL). Still not having it.

He had 2 branflakes for breakfast, and a few tiny bites of cheese for lunch.....and not so many bottles today - so (perhaps) some progress??

ye little and often might be the way to go with him. have you tried rice krispies the sound make intrest him a bit.
