btw do you really get up 3 times to give her a bottle during the night??? she doesn't need milk at all during the night really, just one or two during the day (morning and night normally)
try not to worry too much
If my lo is ill then I understand when he doesn't want to eat so do give him extra milk.
Last week he would either have breakfast or lunch. not both and then 1 day cos he had both he refused supper (he was up at night needing a bottle).
Last 3 days he's eaten everything in sight but not great with too big a lumps as only got 6 teeth (7th through but not big enough to count!!)
He hit 9kg at 9 months but hasn't got to 10kg yet! but he's active and happy and looks well so I don't worry.
A friends lo wouldn't eat anything if it was fed to her off a spoon could your lo be trying to gain independance? I'm about to go through that stage he has to have his own spoon and has now decided actually I want to feed myself!! ( the floor and walls enjoy the food!! oh for a dog!!!)
Good luck but as long as she's still active she's fine. THe other thing is that they say its a control thing as they can control not eating to get a reaction from you so its really important not to react negatively. ITS HARD but I always praise when he eats a good amount and ignore when he doesn't eat or spits food out.
Occasionally I have to force the first spoonful down as he gets it into his head he doesn't like it then once he's had a taste realises how delicious it is.
eating together does help
