No longer finishing bottles

I’ve tried changing the teet a size and hasn’t made any difference. Once he has done 3-5oz he just starts pushing the bottle out with his tongue and refuses the rest des...

What’s everyone’s 12 month old feeding schedule?

My LB turned one on the 7th and we’re transitioning to cows milk. He won’t fully have the cows milk so we’re doing half formula half cows milk at the minute. However, we gave him a bottle yesterday morning but didn’t want any breakfast or dinner so I thought he might’ve been full from the milk. So, this morning I tr...
