DS is breastfed apart from rare occasions when I have had to go out and he has taken a bottle of formula as I find it difficult to express.
We have decided to introduce a bottle feed every night but it's been very hit and miss. He took one full bottle from me Thursday night, 2 bottles on Friday night as I was out for a few hours but then has refused them since. He will take around 80ml but it takes ages with him chewing on the teat, spitting it back out and generally fussing.
Is he only needing 80ml? (He took 200ml Thursday night and 170ml Friday). He is a little and often breastfeeder. Never more than 5 minutes at a time and wakes every 2-3 hours to be fed at night.
Will he get used to it if we keep persevering?
