Hi everyone,

Meher is refusing the bottle TOTALLY...I dont know what came over her..she took the bottle on Friday and on Saturday she doesnt want anything to do with the bottle...she pushes the bottle away..and if we somehow force it into her mouth she just doesnt suck...I feel like I am dealing with a newborn again!!!!

Her milk intake therefore has reduced significantly since i cant nurse her during office hours....I have tried both formula/pumped milk..I have also tried milk in sippy cup, bowl/spoon, different bottles....she will take milk only if I nurse her....

Any suggestions...my aunt was saying that its ok if she eats more and reduces milk intake..but I heard that milk is the most important part of diet till 1 year....pls comment...

Thanks. ck replied. Shalika was doing that for 10 days after my mom left. I thought may be she needs me to BF her. Now she is okay with bottle like before. I think it is just a phase, they get bored of bottle or so. Just hang in there, give lot of other fluids like water, dal pani, soup, etc. I used to make cereal very liquidy and feed. Also try feeding in bottle when she is falling asleep.
