My 8th month old baby recently fusses and cries often during his bottle milk feeds. I can see that he is hungry but I don't know why he refuse the milk feed by pushing away the milk bottle. He only drinks the milk after pacifying him for 5 to 10 mins. I wonder what is the reason behind the crying?

It could be because of teething make his gums sore so he refuse to drink or cries when he drink. I believe it is a phase and will go over soon. You can probably ask PD to prescribe teething gel to soothe baby gums . Or is it time to change teat size already?

Thanks siow yeng! I changed his teat size already. Think maybe he is teething. Will bring him to see pd if the crying persist.
