Sherilyn's Feeding Problem

I wish I knew what's wrong with Sherilyn. She used to love milk and can down a bottle of 7oz milk in a matter of minutes but for the past few days, she would spend close to an hour to gulp it down. She's not teething or anything coz when i asked her if her teeth or gums hurt, she said no. She would spend around 15 mins just to drink half the amount of milk from the bottle and then spends the next half hour biting the teat or shaking the bottle, messing up herself and the place. Each time, I end up pouring out the milk in a cup for her to drink. I thought she wants to wean herself off the bottle but no, she still insists she wants to drink from the bottle.

Apart from this milk problem, Sherilyn still spits her meat and food during mealtimes. I have to resort to putting the cane on the dining table to threaten her to stop spitting and sadly, it works. Her plate and bib are almost clean at the end of each meal now, thanks to the cane. This fussy pot is driving me bonkers!

maybe she's just playful? as long as she eats her other food then it's ok.

Mom to chumsy... i dont think she's being playful coz she tends to go in and out of this phase since she was an infant.

Mum to qiqi... sher also has indigestion prob. She cant eat too much, else she will surely puke. It was worse when she was a bb, always spewing out milk like a water hose.

once she gets used to swallowing the food, then the cane has no place in the table
