Hello, my baby is 6 months almost 7 months and he has now decided to refuse his bottles.. he eats solids too around 3 meals a day breakfast, lunch and dinner all purées but usually has 3-4 bottles aswell.. as of late he barley drinks 2.. I now don’t know what to do as he still needs formula and the nutrients that come from that. Has anyone else had this problem? His also just cut his first tooth not that should impact his formula intake? Any advice/ help would be appreciated if anyone else’s gone through a similar thing with their baby I’m just worried about him getting dehydrated as he doesn’t take water well just as of yet

Offer water?
I do offer water as much as possible but he doesn’t drink much of it as yet

Do you offer the milk before or after food?
Before

My LG started refusing her bottles at 6 months, she’s now 7.5 months and she will take maybe 1 sometimes 2 a day if I’m lucky. I just focus on giving diary in her diet like yoghurt and give her a multivitamin supplement for the nutrients she’s missing from the formula. She’s on 3 meals a day plus snacks. I went to many HV and GP’s as it was majorly stressing me out and they all said to focus on food and she will eventually start taking them again if I don’t pressure her and it is working slowly
