Infant feeding

Sudden change in feeding

Hi,

My LO is 5 weeks old today and has all of a sudden stopped finishing his bottles.

We were feeding him 4oz bottles but he was finishing them consistently so we increased his feeds to 5oz and was almost finishing those too. However, in the last 24 hours he has not finished a bottle at all - he has been having 2 or 3oz every 3-4 hours and I feel that this is not enough!

In addition, he is sick after every bit of bottle and then doesn’t want to continue with the feed after winding.

He doesn’t have a temperature and seems happy within himself but I am concerned. Any advice?

TIA

How is he now?

He’s better but still not back to normal. Some feeds he will drain a 5oz bottle and other feeds he will still only have 2oz.

We’re feeding on demand so hopefully he’s never going hungry 🤞🏼

He'd soon let you know if he was hungry!
