Hi!

Was he formula fed before the switch to cow's milk? My oldest was and I just mixed in cow's milk to the formula gradually. Is it possible to go back to the formula if that is what you were doing before and then try the milk again?

Hi I tried going back to formula and he makes the same face as he does with whole milk just doesn't want it. Spoke to my hv about that too and she just seems to think it's teething but I am worried he is not getting what he needs and won't go back to it. If it is teething and it started on Monday ish and the temp was on Wednesday should he be over the teething by tues? X you know When they are ill like this it's hard to remember what they were like. If u know what o mean x thanks Sophia x

Are his teeth all the way out now? Spencer just cut her bottom two teeth and it wasn't until the second one was halfway out that it stopped bothering her. Does he get dairy from other sources? ie cheese, yogurt. Masyn had a stint of not liking milk for a few months, but is now back on it full force, I just "hid" milk in things like soup or stew and gave her lots of other dairy.

It could be the teething moving in your los gums which are causing the discomfort. 

Have you tried rubbing a bit of teething gel a few minutes before a feed to see if this helps?

Hugs, I know it is hard not to worry, but try not to.

I would keep on offering the milk at his normal feed times.  If he refuses, take it away, and offer it 15 mins later, if he refuses again, I would take it away.  You don't want to force the issue.  He will start taking the milk again.

Have you tried offering a DF to see if you can get a few calories in that way?

We only did the DF while DS was refusing his milk during the day, as soon as he started taking it again, we dropped the DF cold turkey.  Definitely may be worth a try.

Congrats, when is your next lo due?
