We went through this. Happy healthy kid who at 3 months started refusing the bottle. Honestly we pushed through. Feeds would take an hour. We would sing to him, give him toys to play with whilst feeding to distract him. It was so so hard. Things turned around the 6 month mark when he started taking solids and sitting up. I found the 3-6 month period tough, felt like I was force feeding him but otherwise super happy normal kid who met all his milestones just percentile dipped 2-4 months. You have to be pretty consistent and patient with the feeds but you’ll get there. I feel for you though - it was rough. We also found feeding him in the car seat / upright position helped
More: I also gave up dairy 6 weeks ago, now eliminating soy. We’re currently doing formula only (alimentum) for the next 5 days while I eliminate soy. This is on top of a very difficult BF journey with low supply (that has been slowly increasing week over week). I think I may transition to formula which is its own emotional complexity alongside the feeling of failing our baby on missing signs/seeing her struggle with eating.
We never went down the medication route / no allergies
