Why Does The Child Reject The Bottle?
my baby is almost 10 months and still rejecting bottle. Currently, I have to stop nursing due to illness, and my baby have been vomiting and still refuse any bottle. the only time i can get a little fluid come to her mouth is when she is sleeping, but these causing her waking up often. should i continue bothering her in her sleep, or forcing her take the fluid when she s awake?

Hi,
Mother's illness unless it is hepatitis B or HIV should not refrain the mother from feeding the baby. I suggest that you continue breastfeeding and stop bottle feeding if your baby is refusing the bottle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
