Baby rice - please help

For the last 24 hours my baby has been refusing the bottle, not the actual milk, just the bottle. He'll drink the milk when I resorted to putting it on a spoon and feeding him that way but only when it was with rice. He's absolutely fine so there's nothing wrong, he just will not suck his bottle. I only a add a tiny bit of rice to the formula, so will he still get the calories from the milk that is added to the rice?? Thank you

How old is your baby? Baby rice will take up room in his stomach so he will be getting less calories then just having milk.

Have you tried increasing the teat size on the bottle?

Just to clarify that baby rice isn't baby filler it's polyfilla. ..
Try some different teats. .

Agreed, baby rice is not a good substitute for milk. It fills their stomach up with no extra calories. Try different cups for milk
