Miss has been walking since 10.5 months. I finally surrendered to her bottle strike today and she's been eating food, drinking water and cows milk like a champ!! Sometimes I guess they do know best 😊 We will see how the weekend goes and I'll offer her a night time bottle for a few nights yet. Thanks all!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-mo-old-not-drinking-bottles-or-eating-much#post-2745630 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:20:25 +0000 Alba4 2745630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My beast of an 11 month old has slowed down his eating and drinking (thank goodness). He'll turn 1 in 9 days. I mean, he's already 32 lbs, so it's time! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-mo-old-not-drinking-bottles-or-eating-much#post-2745466 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 21:30:39 +0000 gingerbebe 2745466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wouldn't worry. Their growth velocity slows wayyy down at 1 year and after that it's really feast or famine through toddlerhood. They'll eat a little bit but then once a month have a growth spurt where they eat like lumberjacks and go back to eating like birds. My eldest is like that and he's totally healthy and in the 50th percentile now. Once she starts walking she will probably eat a lot for a while. Honestly 2 pancakes and a sausage link and half a pear is a lot. My DS2 is a big eater and would probably eat that much at 13 months but I would still consider that quite a hearty meal. DS2 at almost 3 eats like 2 mini pancakes and milk and calls it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-mo-old-not-drinking-bottles-or-eating-much#post-2745456 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 20:51:59 +0000 Truth Bombs 2745456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she moved up from the 14th% to the 35th% she may have been going through a growth spurt and now she's settling in to her more average appetite. With both my kids at 11.5 months I started transitioning and adding whole milk in with their breast milk. Maybe try seeing your LO is more willing to drink whole milk (either in a bottle or a sippy cup) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-mo-old-not-drinking-bottles-or-eating-much#post-2745447 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 19:56:51 +0000 nugget16 2745447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have written a few other posts over the last week in reference to my 11 month old daughter. In the last two weeks she has barely wanted any bottles, but this week she started not wanting a majority of her solids. Prior to this she had a very hearty appetite and would eat everything we gave her. Now she will initially chew on some food and then spit it out. I finally broke down and took her to the doctor yesterday and they said everything looked fine and they didn't even feel that she was actively teething in the sense that there were any teeth getting ready to pop through.<br /> For example, she used to eat 2 mini pancakes, a turkey sausage link and half of a pair for breakfast and all she would eat this morning is the two pancakes. She would chew on the sausage and then spit it out. I am an FTM and I am so stressed out. She had only about 6 ounces of formula today and anywhere from 2 to 3 ounces of water and a few sips of juice. She is otherwise happy and full of energy and her sleep has not been affected thus far. She has had 2 BM's and three additional wet diapers today and over the last week has not had less than five wet diapers and 24 hours. She does sleep through the night. Has anyone else ever experience this food regression? Any helpful hints? Ps- she weighed 18.6 pounds at the pediatrician and moved from the 14th percentile to the 35th percentile in the last two months. Thanks! </p>
