Hi

Thought I would share a tip too, when my daughter Bobbi - 10 months is refusing

a bottle if I get a toy that sings/talks/dances etc. and play it in front of

her, she opens her mouth and drinks her milk, I think it's a distraction thing!

She still doesn't drink all of it but at least it's some and not none!!!! Hope

this works for others too?
