Help for 9 month old, please!
« on: February 27, 2007, 10:28:37 am »
My daughter is 9 mths and a poor milk drinker.. she has 3 formula feeds of 6 oz [which are being fed to her using a medicine syringe coz she wont drink from her bottle] She has her bfast, lunch and dinner[ 3-4 tlbs] I try to incorporate 1-2oz of milk into her solids..I'm really concerned that she's not getting enough milk. She likes her food pureed..she gags if its not. Any suggestions??? Samantha

I am sorry you are having problems right now. How long has she been syringe fed. Have you talked to her doctor about this?

so sorry things are difficult with your LO drinking her milk...
have you tried different cups/sippy cups or a straw?
yes as pp asks, what does the DR say/recommend?

my LO wont drink her water/juice unless its from a proper cup! can you imagine the mess!!! but whatever gets into her...

The doc says to give it to her any which way..he doesnt seem concerned..says shes healthy so dont worry..but I still do. She seems to have gone off milk..tried sippy cup.. she loves her water from it, but when she realises its milk she pushes it away.. Im at my wits end
