Help my 9 month old had a tummy bug, she's better now, but is refusing her bottle (formula) what should I do? is she OK to stop bottles already? She does eat but still struggles with lumpy food, obviously I've been giving her water but nowhere near the same amount as her bottles 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@staceybarleycorn, is it hot where you are? I remember mine didn’t drink much milk when it was hot too, but sounds like she’s having enough if your worried see if your health visitor can pop out to see you xx
She has porridge for breakfast, a yoghurt mid-morning dinner, sachet or jar as she doesn't like home cooking and pureed fruit but that's all then I would top up with bottles in between them all, so she losing 4 6oz bottles a day x
@staceybarleycorn, my son was fine does she have 3 meals a day? All kids are so different my first stopped milk the day she turned 1 my 2nd stopped at 10months and my 3rd is 17 months and still feeding so all completely different I’m sure she will be fine though x
@chelsea2018 that's what she's doing I'm doing them the same as always but she just isn't interested I will carry on trying but just wondered if she'll be OK not having them x
My son did stop bottles completely at 10 months he just flat out refused to drink them x
@chesscalouise2 thanks I've been doing that she eating and seems fine it's like she doesn't like them anymore
She will most likely be off her milk due to the bug so she will probably want the milk again once she’s 100%, like above said try giving different things. Yoghurts, cheese, milk in cereal etc. Hope she’s better soon nothing worse than babies with stomach bugs xxx
@chelsea2018 it is really hot maybe that and the bug have put her off 🤷🏼♀️ I just have to try giving her more food and water I guess, just wish it didn't happen so abruptly x
