Please help, our little boy Freddie who is 8 months old just refuses to have any fluids. He's been suffering with a cough and blocked up nose which understandably he was put off his bottles because he couldn't breathe when he was sucking, the cold has now gone but he still refuses to drink anything, when we go to put the bottle or cup in his mouth he starts crying and arching his back. I have tried different cups and bottles but he just will not have it. I mash up rusks with his milk just to get some inside him, I’ve even tried putting a rusk in his bottle but he wouldn't take it. I really don't know what to do I’m worried because he's getting no fluid, he is however eating his solid food as per usual, we don't understand why he's going so crazy, I’ve looked in his mouth for sores or ulcers but there's nothing.
Thank you
