My LO has been fighting tooth and nail on every bottle feed. He's a bit over 7 months, and was taking in 5 - 6/7oz bottles a day (every 3 hrs). In the last few weeks, he stops drinking after an ounce or two and turns away. I try to get him back and he fights me. I usually can get him to drink about 5 oz with a lot of effort.

So today, I dropped a bottle, thinking maybe he was ready to drop a feeding, and tried every 4 hours. He still didn't want to eat without a fight! So I stuck a straw in his bottle and he happily drank it!

Do you think he may not want a bottle anymore, and we should just give him all his milk in a sippy cup with a straw? I've been using a sippy cup here and there with just water (but with a spout). I feel like it's too early for this, and that there must be another reason he's not drinking...but I can't figure out what it could be.
