6 month old not drinking formula
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 7:45 pm
Hi I really hope you can help!
My 6 moth old is fully weaned and on 3 meals a day - porridge and fruit/veg purées. We weaned him at 4 months on advice from the gp due to his awful reflux! For the last 3 weeks he really doesn't seem to want his milk. He will only drink between 1-4oz before pushing the bottle away and point blank refusing to drink any more, but will then gobble down his purées! We always offer the bottle before his purées. His lack of milk intake is really starting to worry me, he must be hungry! For example last night he had his las bottle at 7.30pm then nothing until 7am, but still only drank 2oz! He doesn't drink water, he just spits it out despitee offering it throughout the day.
Like I say, he eats his solids fine, and often drinks a whole bottle at bedtime but durin the day he has no interest in his milk at all and feeding time is becoming a bit of a mission!
