I'm not sure what to do about this one and hope that someone can help!!!

Luke is 8 months old and has just started refusing the bottle (he is formula fed). He has been quite succesfully having 3 bottles a day, after his solids but the last couple of days, it's been a real drama to try and get him to take the bottle. He's still eating reasonably well but I'm worried that he still needs his milk. For a while, we were able to distract him with his dummy, then slip the bottle in (but he HAD to be holding his dummy or he wouldn't take it)!! So strange. But now, he won't take it at all.

I'm hoping its just a phase but am worried that he needs it - can someone help. Should I be trying to get him to take it or just not worry - surely if he wants it, he'll take it. He's quite a big boy so its not like he's starving or anything. I just don't know what I should be doing!!

I'm also thinking his top teeth are coming through, so maybe thats what's bothering him - who knows?? Any help or advice would be much appreciated!!!!!

Thanks.
