okay so you are going through the teething stage......you might want to try getting a harder nipple for the bottle and don't worry it's okay...i have two son's that are 7 and 6 and i was the same way. i always worried was i doing every thing just right. You will do fine,,,he is teething and it hurts your son's mouth. Use teething rings that you can freeze to help nu-mm his gum's and then try feeding him...don't over feed him on to many sold or harder consistent food because with out that normal milk in his system he will become easily constipated. But feed him what ever he wants also get so baby oragel it helps so much during this time. I won't be long and he will have broken teeth and he will have a healthier appetite. so keep up the good work and always hold your baby and comfort him. it is work but this will help your son know that you care that he is hurting and that will help him through it and that will help speed up his teething because lack of stress on the baby.....hope this helps let me know....GOOD LUCK

hmmmm ... are you from a different country? just curious bc that question was a little hard to make out.
it's ok though, I get the gist of it. What kind of milk are you giving him? You should not be giving him cow's milk until after a year old. Are you talking about formula.
Babies need the majority of their nutrition from either formula, breast milk or goats milk. mashed potatoes and pork is not good for the majority of your babies diet.
I strongly suggest you discuss this with your pediatrician.

Ok if he wont take his formula try real milk i dont care what anyone says he will decide when he wants when he wants it my son was only 10 months old when he started drinking milk all the time. Try real milk and see what happens. And if that doesnt work i would call the dr and see what you can do about it. Maybe its the kind of formula he is taking that is the problem.

Try ORGANIC milk, as regular milk contains a bovine hormone, to make cows produce more milk, he can probably sense the chemicals in it. Organic milk taste better too, and is free of chemicals. Rice cereal would be better for him than pork & mashed potatoes at his age, the pork is probably too hard on his system. Get him a teething ring.

Give that baby what ever he wants. If he wants milk..give it to him. Juice or water or whatever. Sometimes when they are teething they might be feaverish and milk will upset their tummy.Babies know what they want to eat or drink.I'm not quite sure about potato and pork tho...

Formula or Cow's milk?? He needs to be on formula for the first year. If he is not eating formula it might be because he is eating to many solids. Try taking away other foods and just give him the bottle. Did you switch types of formula?? My daughter is breastfed and won't take her cereal if it is mixed with formula. I guess its because she doesn't like the taste of the formula. Maybe he doesn't like the taste of that particular brand. Call your pediatrician and see if there is a different kind you can offer him??

first off you need to be giving him Formula and not milk, and he needs to be taking it because he needs the nutrition. you might want to take him to the Doctor and ask them what yo do, because he should be drinking. have you tried giving him a different bottle? maybe the nipple is having the milk come out to fast. it might be his teething but again you only will know if you take him to the doctor. you should risk not knowing. good luck!

Well you could try to put some baby cereal in his bottle just a little you will have to poke slightly bigger hole in the nipple and if he is teething i recommend you use vanilla extract on his gums it works like a charm and its is cheaper then orajel. If he continues not eating I would call your pediatrician and ask there professional advice. My daughter had the same problem and the cereal did the trick.

You need to stop giving that baby adult food it will only mess up his stomach..as for the milk he can have water and juice..but he should be offered milk 1st and he should be on baby food only stage 2
