Ds is 7 1/2 months old. He starts daycare in April one day a week then progresses to 3 days a week in may when i go back to work. He'll be at daycare from about 7am to 5/5.30pm

He is breastfed & my husband & i are having no luck getting him to take a bottle or cup of any kind. We've tried different bottles & teats, sippy cup, straw cup, regular open cup. He just doesnt know what to do, he wont suck on the teat, just plays with it. We've been trying daily for 3 weeks now

We've tried expressed milk (even fresh as - i pumped then we offered it immediately), formula & cooled boiled water, he wont drink any of it.

He is also barely on solids as he mostly wont eat. He clamps his mouth closed & turns his head away. If we do manage to get the spoon into his mouth he often ends up having an enormous gag & coughing till he spews. If i give him the spoon to feed himself, he brushes the food off the spoon, then puts the empty spoon in his mouth.

Ive tried finger foods but im never doing that again. He did the biggest gag ive ever seen & i was freaking out, didnt seem like he was going to stop coughing until he finally spewed. I thought i was going to have to call an ambulance, im not doing that again.

Does anyone have any tips or advice? Im really stressed about sending him to daycare when he wont take expressed milk, formula, water or solids.
