A member asked:
10 month old refuses to eat.(spoon or fingers)she only drinks from her bottle. she is teething but it's never been an issue when eating. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give her a few days: to come around. As long as she is taking the bottle, she is getting fluids and nourishment. These current teeth may be uncomfortable and the bottle is comforting. Limit juice to a maximum of 4 oz, limit milk/formula to 32 oz and offer unlimited water. Keep offering small amounts of solids. In a few days, she will become interested again.
