My Son Has Stopped Taking the Bottle At 11 Months Posted: 07-17-07 22:59pm
Help! My son, who has taken a bottle of
formula in the evening since he was 2
months old, has suddenly stopped taking
the bottle all together. It is a very
stressful situation as I simply do not
have the milk production to give him what
he needs in the evening. He gets very
upset at not getting enough out of the
boob. My doctor thinks he may have
developed thrush and has just put him on
oral drops. Has anyone else had this
experience? If so, do you think he will
start taking the bottle again after the
thrush has cleared? He still takes the
boob no problem. Any advice out there?

I would think since he's already 11
months, it would soon be time to wean him
from a bottle anyways. Does he take a
sippy cup? If so try giving it to him with
that. Try to look at the positive side,
maybe it will be easier to wean him. At a
year doctors usually want them on whole
milk. Does he eat a lot of table foods
yet? If he does I wouldn't be too
concerned about not getting that last bit
of formula. Keep us updated.
