8 wk old DD been bottle fed since 2 weeks due to severe cracked and bleeding nipples!! etc Last 3 days DD started to refuse her feeds when she is giving hungry cues! When DD placed in crook of arm and bottle introduced immediately starts crying and pushes teet out of her mouth and pushing the bottle away...casuing leakage and more screaming! Since 7am this morning DD has only taken a TOTAL of 10 ounces and every feed today has been sooo stressful. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. DD not unwell and not showing signs of dehydration but I'm getting worried as shes taking such small amounts at such stange times! HV wondering if DD has a poor sucking action?! Any ideas anyone? Anyone else having similar problems??
