Refusing all bottles in the day??
This has been going on for two days now.
Summer has just got over a horrible cough and is fine now, but last week wouldn't touch her solids and only had a little milk.
Well now she is eating really well so not worried about that atall, but for some reason she is refusing all milk feeds in the day! She drinks 7oz at bedtime and a whole bottle in the night too (about 3am) but thats it. Is she still getting enough? I have been offering her bottles when she is hungry and when she refuses I add as much as I can to her food but theres only so much you can add before it goes too runny lol. I have also been giving her cheese with most meals and lots of yogurts but will this make up for the loss of vitamins she needs?
Sorry about the essay lol, just a bit worried.
Thanks for advice girls!

how old is Summer?
as long as she is getting fluids, i wouldnt be too concerned about her milk intake is she is eating ok, especially as you are giving her other dairy!!
you will probably find she'll pick up her milk again soon!
is she managing to sleep through now she isnt having that 3am bottle? if she is, at least that is a bonus!!!
just keep offering it her for now (is she on 2-3 bottles a day?), and she'll either re-start, or just stop! it isnt unusual for babies to go off milk when they are weaned - or if they have just been ill!
glad she is better tho'!
what does it recommend on the back of the milk box? is it something like 7oz 3 x a day?
unlucky about the 3am one!! can you get her to stop it - it is prob habit for her now, and she doesnt really need it.
it may be a week or so of tantrums from her, but if you can put up with it.....
glad you feel better about it now!
