Bottle and solids

My son has been on solids since 5.5 months. But he's starting to refuse his bottle. I don't know how to get him to drink his bottle. His milk intake is under 20 ounces a day but will eat everything I give him from his baby food.

Any Mom's having this problem or had this problem? Need advice.

Re: Bottle and solids

  • DD was like this. We had to feed her in very small increments, which was a pia. I always aimed for 24oz, but I don't think she got that most days. The pedi put her on Zantac incase she was having silent reflux, but I really think she just didn't want it. On the brightside it was a breeze to wean her at 1. She's almost 3 now and she still doesn't really drink enough. The babysitter and I follow her around all day with a cup!

  • Yeah I tried hiding his lunch today and he actually drank 4 ounces. So I'm wondering if it's because he sees the food and wants that more than the bottle. But his night time bottle he doesn't even drink. I thought I was going to have an issue with removing the bottle. I guess not. Lol
