Refuses to finish bottles...
The past two nights ds has refused to finish his bedtime bottle, he'll drink 4-5oz and either push it out or scream and not want to finish. Both night's he has woken up at 4am and wouldn't go back to sleep until we gave him 8oz.
I started him on cereal about a month ago once a day and now he has it 2x's a day, morning and night for about 2-3 weeks. Could it be he isn't hungry or is it bc of his teeth bc he's also teething...anyone with similar experience or any suggestions??

Ha - you know I don't have that problem. I had to add more formula to Jack's bottle last night bc apparently the 6ozs with cereal was just not enough for him. 
I am going to go broke once this kid starts eating real food.
Are you giving him the cereal with his last bottle?

I give him his cereal and fruit 2hrs after his 1st bottle and 2 hrs before his last bottle. He gets 4 bottles a day.....
I thought it was his teeth so I changed to a level 2 nipple so he wouldn't have to suck so hard, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Re: Refuses to finish bottles...
Does he fall asleep during that last bottle?
When are you feeding him his last meal of the day and then when are you giving him is bottle?

He has his cereal usually around 5-6 and last bottle before bed at 7-8, all depending on when he woke up and had the 1st one. Bottles are all 4 hours apart from each other.

I can't remember 100% with DD - but I think we waited an extra hour at night to give her that last bottle. She is (and was) a kid that goes to bed late - so it wasn't an issue for us to give it to her later.
Also I think they do go through a stage that they don't finish them for a week and then the next week they want more!!

My DS is 4.5 months and he isn't finishing any of his 6oz bottles except during the middle of the night
I was attributing it to teething...
