9 month old wont drink bottles......teething?

we think she is teething, is it ok that she is only getting about 15 oz. of formula? she usually drinks 26-30 and the past couple days she cant be bothered drinking her bottle.

she isnt cranky or acting like she is starving. i have been giving her some formula mixed with cereal to make sure shes getting some.

is this ok??

Re: 9 month old wont drink bottles......teething?

Its a phase. Went through this around this age with DD. It was related to teething!

Also around this time DD was eating table foods and reduced her bottle from 28oz to around 20-24 oz.

Re: 9 month old wont drink bottles......teething?

same here. She started refusing her bottles maybe an ounce or 2. I dec. the amount I gave in the bottle so i didn't waste formula. It slowly increased again and is on the decline again. It all depends on teething, how much food is she getting.

Is she on table food? Does she eat well. DD is 11 months now and MAYBE has 15 ounces a day but she eats really well

Re: 9 month old wont drink bottles......teething?

yeah, shes on table food/jar food. she LOVES it and never turns it down. she will eat anything.

she will drink about 6 oz in the morning, maybe 4 oz during the day if i am lucky, and scarfs down her last bottle (7 oz).

im going to offer her less during the day, its killing me wasting all this formula!

Re: 9 month old wont drink bottles......teething?

yup that is why I reduced the amount in the bottle each time. When I saw that she was leaving a lot consistently I reduced. As long as she is eating balanced meals I think she's fine. I know my dd is gaining weight b/c right now she is chunky

MY DD is 6 (maybe) oz first thing
breakfast
lunch
around 2 pm I offer 6 oz sometimes she will take it
dinner at 5:30
night time bottle around 7 pm I usually offer 4 oz unless she didn't eat much.
