Hi ladies,
DD2 is 8 mo and ATM has been taking 4 bottles of about 7 oz each, one of which is a 10:30 pm DF. For 2 of the past 3 nights, she has pretty much refused her DF altogether. I am also having issues with her other bottles as well. For the past 5 days, she has been taking only about 4 oz at each (except the DF which is worse). She cut her first tooth a few days ago, so I figured that was the problem. However, the tooth is now fully erupted and she is still balking at eating. I changed the teat size to a faster flow, and it has made no difference. She is very happily eating her solids, and I have thought about cutting her amounts, but she is only taking about 4-5 oz at each meal, and this was the amount she was eating before the problems with the bottle began. No NW so far. She is a little whiny, but not terribly so.
1. Should I consider dropping the DF? If I do, that would put her down to 3 bottles, a move I did not want to make until she was about 10 mo.
2. Should I significantly reduce her solids, like maybe by half?
3. Do you think it is probably still teething? You know how those first few teeth seem to come in pairs.
Thoughts? TIA
