8 month old refusing bottle??

Question

Hey guys! I’m a ftm (with another on the way hehe) but I was just wondering if any of you have had the same problem? My son is 8 months and since he’s been introduced to solids, he’s been refusing his bottle more....is there anything I can do or replace it with? Or do I just make sure he has his 3 meals + water?? I have no idea what to do and my mom doesn’t know either since she didn’t have this problem 😅 any help or advice is appreciated! (He’s a preemie btw!)

Answer

Mine went through this at 5 months and just stay consistent and continue to offer the bottle. I would put pedialyte in there about once a day so it had a different taste than formula and she would want the bottle more and after about a week she would eat from the bottle with no problems and still has solids.

Answer

Following!! I’m in the same boat!  With another on the way as well 😂

Answer

I don't really have any advice (sorry) but will he take a cup? Maybe put his formula in the cup. My dr said that if/when my daughter starts to take her cup more that there isn't a need for a bottle anymore, said I didn't have to wait until 1 to take it. Also she said that until the before the age of 1 most of my daughters calories need to come from formula or breast milk that food is kind of more for fun and learning. I would maybe try offering him a cup more. 
Also I give my daughter a bottle before we eat.

Answer

I went through this and some days it still happens. I offer her bottle always before food and food 1 hr after bottle.

Answer

My son has done this when he goes through a leap and when his teeth are breaking through. We just keep giving him the bottle and sometimes we give him a break in the middle.

Answer

I would keep offering the bottle but then put it in a cup if that doesn’t work.

Answer

I’ve been putting my daughters in a soppy cup, she’s much happier taking it that way! She dies get three meals and water too, but it’s a struggle with the bottle for sure!
