I had a 11 month old start on November 1st (well, he turned 11 mos last week). He seems to be adjusting fairly well except for the fact that he will not take a bottle from me. He might drink half an oz, but then he spits it out and I can't get him to take more. I've tried giving it to him right after his nap where it's quiet and he's happy and away from the other children. Still nothing. I've tried sippy cups and different types of bottles. He won't take water either. He will eat some lunch and snack, but not drink. I don't want this kid to get dehydrated in my care! When mum arrives he drinks six oz from her. I'm hoping in time he will trust me enough to take a bottle... Any advice would be appreciated!
