Hi everyone,
My 7 week old daughter is bottle fed and last week when HV came she had dropped from 25th to 9th percentile. She was only 6lb 4 born and was 8lb 9 when weighed last week... I thought that was good but was a drop.
She is now probably dropping further as is refusing bottles. She only drinks 3-3.5 oz at a time and was having bottles roughly 7, 10, 2, 5, 8 and then last one at 11 until the morning. However she is now only taking about 2 ounces at 2 and refusing the 5 and 8 feeds!! It’s currently 7 and half hours since last feed at 2ish and I can hear her tummy rumbling and she’s been mouthing for milk but when she has a sip she starts screaming 😔😔😔
Is it worth trying a different formula brand? Has anyone tried that helps? Currently using cow & gate. Has been checked for tongue tie - all fine. Doesn’t vomit after feeds so not reflux!?
Any suggestions or advice welcome!! Bit at wits end and now it’s bank hol so cant contact HV.
Xx
