Wont drink milk

[twolittlegirls]

My little girl is 9 months old. She has 3 meals a day and 3 bottles a day. Over the last week she is refusing to drink her bottle. I can get her to have about 80mls but that is it. I've tried different formulas and cows milk (which is what she drinks 80mls of). Has anybody got any ideas.

She has got her front teeth coming through at the moment. I have tried switching the bottle but it doesn't seem to help.

Please help me!!!

Maybe add a bit of nesquik or milo??

More than likely its just the teething thats causing her to be a little off her milk or food.
Boof does this when he has teeth coming through he hardly eats a thing but the good thing to remember is they wont let themselves starve at this age.
If your lo is getting other dairy products such as yoghurt, cheese or say custard every day then i wouldnt worry if she isnt having her bottles as she is getting enough that way.
Just keep offering as you are then maybe in a few days she will start back to her usual self otherwise you may even find she cuts down to just two bottles a day.
We cant get Boof to drink cows milk full stop but thats because of a slight intolerance so he drinks a toddler formula now. We even have to be careful if he has too much dairy in one day or its a disaster. We only have two bottles a day now one after lunch at nap time & then one before bed.
I personally wouldnt go putting anything in the milk because it could start a habit but thats just me & what i would be worried about. Just give her some time & see how things go.
Good luck :)

Shan, my DD did exactly what yours is doing. Exactly the same age, exactly the same everything. I just stopped buying the formula, made sure she was getting plenty of nutrition in general (green vege's, red meat, dairy products like cheese and yogurt) and she was fine. :thumbsup: She drank cows milk a bit, but mostly just water and diluted juice.
