Baby refusing bottle!! Please help!

[vixxie77]

Well I have now completely weaned Brooke onto formula and she took to it really well. BUT yesterday and today she has been refusing to feed, pushing the bottle away and moaning/crying. I end up tricking her into getting the teat into her mouth she'll suck for a while then stop again! I don't know what to do. She left nearly a whole feed late last night. She has had a stomach bug since monday and is still have slight diahorrea in the mornings, I'm also not sure if she's teething, however she is only really like this when I try to feed her. I'm considering trying to breastfeed again as feel she may be missing it and that might be the problem. Does she need more solids? I'm really not sure what is causing this problem. Please help! x x

Could she be a bit constipated? The diarrhoea could be overflow? We had problems once B went over to formula completely, it takes some time for their systems to get used to it. I offered little and often x

Would that make her refuse it then? She was vomiting for a day and then now has diahorrea once a day but did a fairly normal poo earlier. If she's constipated then how would diahorrea get through? x x

With overflow its when there is a solid poo blocking but liquid can still seep past if that makes sense?
Teething could be an issue as well - try bonjela or teething granules 1/2 hour before feed to see if that helps x

Thanks hun. Think there is probably too much poo to be constipation. She went 3 times yesterday, 2 of which were more like breast milk poos which is strange, her poos lately have been like smooth peanut butter (sorry tmi) Will try the teetha before feeds x x
