Hi,
I have a six month old healthy boy (he is 9.3kg) who for the past two months has been refusing both food and either breast milk or formula from a bottle (I am trying to wean him as I have to go back to work).
I would love for him to take his solids but no matter what I try (be that making sure he is hungry or different foods) what ever I put in seems to come back out. He even makes him self sick.
He is still breast feed every 3 - 4 hours; I have even tried not giving him a feed to get him to eat. I know I have not got too much to worry about as he is a healthy weight but I need for him to start a feeding routine so I can happily go back to work.
The bottle refusal is a different matter, he has his father and I wrapped around his little finger as he takes the bottle from my mother (wjo has the patients of a saint). I am hopping persistence pays off, but there is only so much crying and screaming and vomiting one can take.
I am hoping that someone anyone out there has been through a similar situation and can let me know what they did.
Help please.
