bottle drinking problems
« on: January 21, 2008, 20:17:51 pm »
My LO wants to hold own bottle but it is too heavy so he keeps knocking it out of his mouth and then gets windy. He twists his head round if I trap his arms.
Sometimes not drinking very much because of this.
He is 19 weeks and used to drinking from the bottle.
I have tried a faster flow teat which has helped him drink more but still knocking it out of mouth and twisting head in frustration.
Any advice?

What kind of bottle are you using?  I would consider trying to get a bottle you can put handles on (like the Avent ones, you can use the handles from the sippy cups), then he can hold it and you can hold it together.
