But he really doesnt want to drink it at all.  He drinks the am bottle fine but yesterday I had to wait til he was sleeping to get him to drink the afternoon bottle, and the evening one takes alot of coaxing as well...

I have been giving him extra bc he's not drinking milk. He just follows me around whining until I feed him. But honestly its not much more than normal. He should defonately be hungry for the milk.  Plus he's eating more solid food vs puree now and I think its less than usual. He is just griping constantly rightmost. :-(

Ugh... It could certainly be teething related... does he have the top two centre ones yet?  Those can take weeks!

Ugh... well, at least he is getting them over with!  Then it won't be so bad for the bottom two... I don't want to talk about top incisors though - not okay.

LOL, great!!! I am sorry you are going through a rough bout too.  How long do you think I should allow this to continue?  I am almost concerned something else is wrong with him.

Still pooping okay?  Is he still taking Miralax daily?  Think it could be an ear infection? That will cause bottle rejection too.. and sleep issues.

If he seems otherwise happy, I wouldn't be too concerned...

Pooing is rather well right now!!  Yes, we are still doing miralax, 1tsp a day now.  I am not sure about the ear infection but he just seems so fussy and clingy for it to just be his tooth.  But seems like he is only like this to me....he gets his moments with the sitter but when hes with me its "hold me, hold me, hold me".  I love him but I have to get things done too.  :(

Now that all really makes me think it is just a bout of separation anxiety ;)

He does it all weekend though too when I am with him 24/7.  I think he is just more whiny with me than the others b/c he knows it pulls at my heart stings.  :)

Ok, well he will be 10 months old on 10/27 and he just keeps refusing milk for me and wanting more solids.....SO, I guess I am going to quit wasting formula, at least the first bottle.  Today he only took 4.5 oz of the 6.5 I prepared!!! He is teething but I dont think that is the reason, he acts like it tastes like poision. Like he just doesnt want it.
