He's refusing his bottles!!
« on: March 09, 2011, 01:00:15 am »
Does teething really make them refuse their bottles??? The last few days Logan dosen't want anything to do with his bottles he is still eating his solids, but turns his nose up at his bottles....he is teething 3 teeth.

It can - the teats and sucking can be hard on tender gums but it usually only last for a few days. Have you tried pain meds/ teething gel just before a feed?

Hi Laura, I did break out the pain meds but he seems to be still struggling. Glad to hear it should only last a few days. I can see the teeth so they are almost all the way through.

Try giving him his milk from a sippy cup, it works for us sometimes!

yup we get bottle refusal as well while teething.

Have you tried a gum numbing stuff like Orajel? that normally helps him take 2-3 oz
