Hi girls,
we have a huge problem-Daniel is refusing bottle at all (it started about 3 weeks ago, and went from bad to worse). Basically, he isnt having anything liquid. Not only milk, but also water, prine juice, just juice, anything what is in the bottle. He pushes the bottle away, and if you are trying to force it on him he starts screaming. The only time when you can make him have at least something is when he is asleep or half asleep.
He is on solids, and I had to get from one meal a day to 3 meals, because otherwise he would starve. By the way, he is absolutely fine with solids and loves them!
We tried everything, not giving any food at all, hoping he will get hungry and just eat eat whatever we will give him (didnt work, he went 6 hours with no food, when we offered him bottle, and he was really hungry, I could see it, he did his usual stuff, so I had to give him puree), he was on Avent bottles all the time, since he started doing this we tried Tommee Tippee, Breastflow from Mothercare, ans a cheap one from Tesco, made no difference, still refusing, tried 2 different baby cups (one avent, one tommee tippee with silicone top), result-none. I also tried another formula (He was on C&G comfort 1, tried Comfort 2, C&G just one, Aptamil)-no result.
I am getting really desperate. As I said, it started about 3 weeks ago, but then he was having at least some formula and I could trick him in having liquids, but the last 2 days was a complete nightmare. Yesterday he had 2 solid meals and at most! 9oz of milk, today-since 5am at most 7oz!(he had 4 solid meals though, in the morning porrige with baby fromage frais (i had to get it because I am simply worried he is not getting enought calcium just from purees), in the lunchtime-broccoli puree, as a tea-apple puree, and before going to bed-fromage frais. Before each meal I offered milk-result was screaming, so I just had to give up!
As a note, he is absolutely healthy, no fever, we were thinking it is teething, so we put some teething jel on-still nothing. He seems to be very happy with himself and isnt bothered about anything. Isnt constipated and hasnt got diarreah.
I am just so worried he will get dihydrated. And that he is not having enought minerals without formula (or any liquids).
Did anybody had this? And will it ever stop? And what I can try to do?
I am getting really desperate at this point!
By the way, last night he was waking up every hour, and my guess is that he was hungry, but when I offered milk he refused up untill 5 am, when he evetually had 3oz
