Help!
My (almost) 5 month old DD has decided that she doesn't want her morning/breakfast bottle.
She has only been drinking about half her bottles lately - for about the last 3 weeks. But now she's refusing her morning one completely! Shes' having a feed about 2:30am of 240ml, then wakes to play at 6:30 - 7am for an hour and a half, then has about half her bottle at about 10 - 11am-ish. It's really frustrating me as she's closing her mouth and turning her head and making sounds to tell me she doesnt' want it. I was thinking it was the warm milk now that it's getting hot that she's not liking, so havent been heating her bottles lately, just at room temp, and that seemed to work a little, but I'm getting worried she'll be de-hyrating. I check her nappies and think she's still ok with that. i'm getting her to have water over the course of the day also.
Did anyone else have this problem? Would love some advise...
