Not certain this is the place to post my question but,
my 14 mos. old dd is refusing to drink anything from a bottle. I work and would nurse her in the morning and when I come home. My mil takes care of her during the day and dd eats solids like an adult. So she feeds plenty and she loves yogurt so she get that as well. But I am afraid she is not getting enough to drink. We've tried lots of diff. nipples and zippys but she doesn't want the bottle and with the zippy she'd literally take zips and it would take forever to even get in an ounce. She was taking a bottle ever since I returned to work when she was 4-1/2 mos. but recently she has gone on a bottle strike. My mil suggests that I wean so dd would not have a choice but to take a bottle (out of thirst or hunger) but I don't want to wean and I don't feel like that is a solution.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mary
