Hi all
I don't get on here much as LO keeps me busy but I am at my wits end re her feeding.
Due to circumstances against my control I was unable to BF so we had to switch to FF. At around 8 weeks she started to suffer from colic and the HV suggested changing her to her an Easy Digest formula so off we went to get her the Aptamil Easy Digest and at 15 weeks she has been on it ever since.
She has been taking 5-6 ozs per bottle upto last Tuesday when she dropped to 3-3.5oz per feed. I spoke to HV on Friday who said she wasn't taking enough as she should be having at least 28oz per day at her age. She told me to monitor her feeds over the weekend and speak again tomorrow.
I think she is hungry but as soon as she realises what is in the bottle, she spits it out or turns her head away and gags.
Is she struggling with it? Does she not like it? Is it the teats?
She is only taking about 20oz per day at the moment and I am getting really worried.
Would really appreciate your help!!
xx
