Q: My 6 month old doesnt like to drink his bottle or eat solids. He doesnt spit up and is never fussy. What could it be?
Liv,
It is hard to say what is going on. Has this been going on for a long time or is this a new concern?
I wonder if you have discussed this with his doctor. It is best to rule out the simple things first like an ear infection, new tooth or constipation. The doctor can also look at other reasons for feeding problems such as acid reflux, food allergies or intolerances, an oral motor problem or feeding aversion. Your little one is communicating as best he can that something is wrong.
Maybe you could tell me a bit more. How long has he disliked his feedings? What have you tried so far? What has the doctor said about this?
Lets chat some more.
