7 mo baby was exclusively breastfed and has started solids for past month. Eating 3 meals a day, having a variety of foods without a problem. Sips of water from a cup. Typically developing.
I’m travelling for work for 5 days. Taking baby with me isn’t an option for this particular trip, which is abroad. Planning to pump to keep my supply going but baby will be having formula while I’m away.
Have been trying for some time to encourage baby to drink from a cup or bottle. No success after very many attempts from different people, including myself. Previously baby has waited 8 hours or so for me to return home after a separation to drink from the breast but this won’t be an option when I’m abroad.
Have tried two different types of bottle, various cups…has anyone experienced this? What happened when you went away? I’m hoping baby will have some fluid from food, and will eventually be thirsty enough to take in what they need.
