will not drink her night bottle anymore.
« on: November 03, 2010, 01:39:24 am »
LO is 10.5 months old and for the last 2 nights has only drank 4-5oz out of her night bottle, she usually drinks 8oz. This has resulted in 6am wake ups cause she is so hungry will drink her usual 7oz and then won't go back to bed.
We had this problem before so we cut her middle bottle down to 4oz and she would drink her full 8oz. I can't cut her solids as it won't affect her bottles and she dosen't really get full on milk anymore. I don;t know what to do?

Is she teething perhaps?  If she is, sometimes the discomfort manifests itself more at night than during the day because they don't have so many other things to keep their minds off the discomfort.  Just a thought.

What is she doing when she is refusing her bottle?? Faffing about and playing or tired and ready for bed?

she starts playing with the nipple just chewing on it and then she spits it out and will shack her head or (the last 2 days) say no.

My LO did this.  I moved his night bottle to 5:30 or 6:00.   Closer to dinnertime and this did the trick.
