Refusing Bottles-What to do??

aivi08 · May 2009

My DD rather eat her solids than take her bottle. She will push the bottle away when I try to feed her. I know she gets her milk in cereals but I feel that's not enough. Before she didn' have a problem just started recently refusing the bottles. I tried the sippy cup but no luck. Any suggestions? TIA.

Are you giving her the bottles around the same time as solids? I would give the solids in between bottles. Or maybe skip the solids one feeding so she'll take the bottle.

I'm giving her a bottle before I feed her solids. She doesn't take the bottle especially before bedtime. I usually give her a bottle around 7 before she goes to bed and the last time I feed her solid is around 4. She would refuse the bottle and rather sleep.

Is she teething or maybe have an ear infection? Noah does that sometimes when he's teething and also when he had an ear infection. He also did that once and I ended up changing the flow of the nipple...I think it was too slow and he was annoyed. Good luck...hope she takes that bottle again soon!

I think around your DD's age, my DD dropped one bottle but all the other bottles went up about 2 ounces. Maybe she's ready to drop one bottle.

I think she is teething and not an ear infection since she is not constantly crying? Today so far she only has 3 oz of formula since she woke up at 7am. She wouldn't eat cereals this morning. I might change the nipple level to see if it makes any diff. thanks again.
