Babies: 9 - 12 Months

7 month old refusing formula

Any one else have a little one that is refusing formula? DS used to eat 8oz bottles 4 times a day plus 2tbs cereal and a fruit in the am, 2 jars of veggies at lunch and 2tbs cereal and a fruit/veggie for dinner. The past week he has dropped down to 6 oz and yesterday and today he only ate about 4 oz of each bottle. I decreased the amount of solids per pedi since he wasn't drinking as much but that hasn't helped at all. He is teething and the two eye teeth on the top are almost through. Maybe that is why. Just curious if it is just a phase. 

Re: 7 month old refusing formula

  • if hes teething its totally common for him to refuse the bottle. The pressure is probably hurting his gums.  Hopefully they will come thru quickly.

  • my little guy hardly drank anything yesterday....  maybe 15 oz total..  today he has a fever and a runny nose..  It may be a sign that he's not feeling well...

  • I think it's a normal phase...my 7 month old is doing it, too.  I don't know if it's teething or what, but he used to drain 6oz bottles and now sometimes it's a fight to get him to drink more than 3oz.
