My 12 week old has terrible reflux so I guess this is probably why but he only takes about 2.5/3 ounces of his bottle and he'll feed every 1.5/ 2 hours, 3 sometimes if I'm lucky. I've tried drawing out the time in between in hopes he'll take more and then have a longer gap in between but he still can't take more tha 2 ounces and will just scream the house down in hunger.
I always make up a 4 ounce bottle and a lot of the time he seems to want more than 2 ounces but can't take it because of being in pain with what I think is reflux.
I am absolutely exhausted because for 12 weeks ive been feeding throughout the night and there is no sleeping when he sleeps because the reflux means he doesnt sleep well.
saw a paediatrician about his reflux and all he said was "don't go with the baby, he doesn't know what he's doing, you need to set him a routine and feed him only 6 times a day one of those times being at night"
How am I meant to do this??
