DS refusing all bottles

[Anonymous]

So he at absolutely nothing as of 4 this afternoon so I called and demanded a ped gi referal which I got and was able to get an apt on Friday. However, this evening I put some orajel on his gums and he proceeded to take 5.5 ounces from a sippy cup. So I have no clue. I am going to keep the apt but also put orajel on his gums tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks for checking on us.

Just out of curiosity, which sippy did he use? Please keep us posted. Wouldn’t it be great if the oragel was the answer!

I used a nuby sippy. It has a nipple similar to a bottle. I used them when my first daughter was learning how to use one so thought I would try with him. I doubt it because with my ds Ryan, nothing is ever straightforward.

Is he on regular formula? I have heard that some reflux babies start showing their lactose intollerance as they get food, because they know that they have another option of food and will start refusing the formula. I would try a different formula. My son did the same thing and he was only taking 6 oz a day, but he was a big boy and I didn’t worry (looking back, I would have switched to a different formula). Once he turned one, he refused whole milk and would only drink Yo-J (yogurt and juice) so then I got the idea to try to give him milk with Acidophilus (good bacteria that helps with digestion that’s found in yogurt) added and he loves it (oh, he hated soy too). The main thing about formula is the extra iron in it, so I’d try to find another formula that works.
