Please help!
My baby is 9 and a half months old now. Since last week she is refusing to drink from her bottle now. If you even put it near her she starts screaming. We have been trying to give her liquids through a syringe but I feel like it still isn't enough fluid. We ended up taking her to her doctor and they just said it was teething and she had no ear infections or anything else. It doesn't make sense to me cause she will eat her solids just fine, but she wants absolutely nothing to do with her formula and she barely drinks any pedialyte. Anyone else dealing with this or might know what is going on? It's super stressful!

My LG is exactly the same. Ended up in hospital on a drip due to dehydration. She does have an inflamed throat but nothing else.
My son refuses a regular bottle when his teeth get really painful sometimes changing the nipple type helps but not always maybe try that or an open cup or straw cup
We are going through this also, only drinking 10-12 ounces a day. Her doctor wants to see her. She won’t eat solids or purées
Hey! What if you tried some juice in a sippy cup?
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope your baby is okay. It's so stressful!
@Jordon we tried just a regular cup, but she still kind of refuses. We are using a 5ml syringe and she seems to be taking that okay.
@Audrey she is getting better. Just need to keep trying with milk.
@Candice I hope your baby is okay! So far mine will eat, she just refuses liquids
@Hannah baby's doctor said to just use formula and pedialyte. She is at least drinking the pedialyte in a syringe
@Claire that's good to hear! Yeah, my babies doctor basically said I'm doing everything right, it's just a tough round of teething that we have to get through
