Hey guys and girls. i have looked on the net for my problem but cant seem to find what im looking for so i was hoping someone could help me out

i have a 1 year old boy and he normally goes to bed fine, he rubs his eyes,i get a warm bottle and put him in his cot with it and he drinks it all and passes out without making a peep.

but a couple of days ago he started acting different,i would put him to bed and when i would give him his bottle he would get upset and throw it away and if i try to put it in his mouth he gets more upset. if i leave him in the cot crying he throws the bottle out of the cot and wont go to sleep. i have to go in there,lay him back down and pat his hair and sing twinkle twinkle to him for like 20mins LOL

i thought maybe he didnt like the milk anymore so i put some milo in it to make it taste better for him, it seemed to work,but once i put him into bed with it he would act the same.

he also went from drinking 3-5 bottles a day to 1-2. is this normal?

the main problem is that he wont go to sleep properly anymore because he usually drinks himself to sleep and now he wont.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

My missus says he could he teething?

 

[OILRIG]

hmmm, yeah i had the same thought,i think he might be getting a couple more teethy's on the bottom. is that why he might not want the bottle?? maybe a cooler bottle instaid of warm...... maybe some bonjella also..ill give it a try tonight

cheers landy, tell the missus thanks aswell

x2 for teething...it plays havoc with kiddies several times through their infantcy.

Mind you - in this day and age if all the ole wives tales don't work then i'd get him to the quack...can't be too careful.

thanks heaps guys,its so obvious now missus just emailed me and said she found him chewing on his toy in bed this morning. i guess when your running around trying to look after him you dont see the small things. chewing on things, red cheeks sometimes, less bottles, more poo's. ah i remember teething

hahah thanks again guys, im sure all will be well tonight

poor oilrig, y cant it be as easy as a oil change, glow plug replacement, busted window regulator or a cab chop! Good to hear u figured out whats keeping him up

 

[OILRIG]

hahahahha yeah, i know. i was starting to wonder if he had a faulty PCV valve or something

lucky my tool box is in the shed ey

a good way to see if they are teething is .....
-check for unusual nappy rash/flushed facial cheeks
-get ya finger and rub his/her gums if it placates them, then their gums are giving them the sheits

one vote again for teething mate

I feel for ya mate going through teething at the moment (not me the baby) and it sux's, it must hurt the poor little buggers.Only difference we have is he likes the bottle in bed and when his finshed he chewes on the bottle.Bonjella is a great thing.

You try going to sleep with a bottle instead of titty...hardly blame the poor lad lol (yes I realise this doesn't help

 

[OILRIG]

Did you shave your beard off? lol My old man did this when I was a lil tacker and fawk me he was scary lookin!!
