     Topic: 10mth old rejecting milk feeds?     Posted: 01 September 2008 at 1:20pm |

   Hi there
 
 Just wanting reassurance that I shouldn't worry really.
 
 Lauren has not had a milk feed since Friday night.  She takes a few swigs and then throws it away.  It is a screaming match that I have given up on to tell the truth!
 
 She didn't eat much over the weekend at all solids wise, but today she has been eating her solids quite well.  I have also been giving her yoghurt to keep her dairy intake up.  She also drinks tonnes of water if I let her, like she will scull back a whole 200mls at once if I give her the chance.
 
 Should I worry about her not taking her formula?  I guess if she is eating and drinking everything else I shouldn't worry too much?  
 
 She is teething big time at the moment, I can see a couple of blisters on her gums where the teeth have come up and then gone down again.  I know when they teeth they can go off their food, but to go off milk feeds for 3 days seems quite a long time to me?
 
 TIA

   Oh really fattarts, thats interesting??!!  I have noticed since she turned 10 mths, she has become a bit more of a madam, eg when she doesn't get her way and she's becoming so much more independant to a certain degree.
 
 Guess I just have to roll with it then.
 
 I might offer her the formula in a cup with a straw too.

   Hey fattarts, just wanted to say how right you were    
Little monkey has been drinking her bottles fine since Tuesday!!  A cup and straw didn't go down too well though    
Thanks for your advice
