6.75 month old not interested in bottles or solids
« on: December 05, 2012, 09:48:54 am »
I hope someone can help me.
My DS is 6.75 months and has been really difficult to feed for the last month.
He has never been a great feeder due to reflux, but this now seems to be under control.
We are struggling to get him to take 5oz bottles every 4 hours and sometimes he will only take 1-2 spoons of solids.
This morning he wouldn't even take his first bottle - he only had 1 oz during the night.
He has 2 teeth already and i am giving his pain relief in case teething is causing problems.
Any advice for me?

Which reflux med is he on now and what dosage?

Could be that he is having a teething related flare or that he has outgrown his current med/dose.

What size nipple are you currently using?

He is on Zoton 7.5mg - my doctor told me that this is a pretty high dose and should control the reflux.
He is on No 3 Dr Browns Teats - there are a few occassions during the night that he will drink 5oz really quickly so I know he is able to drink when he wants to. He just seems to have no interest in feeding most of the time.
Could teething be causing this for the last month?

He is now 18.5lbs - I think his weight is pretty average for his height.
He only weights this much though cause I fight with him to take his feeds. If he had his way, he would definitely weight a lot less!
