Hello all,
My 3mo, until recently, was feeding very well - 180ml, 5 times a day (generally 7am, 10.30, 2, 6 and 11pm). She would take in around 100ml then we would burp her then she would take in the remainder with little problem.
Now she is refusing to go back to the teat after the mid-feed burping. She goes red in the face and screams. We have now changed her teat to a 3mo teat (faster flow) so she can take in more in the first session - around 140ml. But she is refusing to go back after winding. We even tried split feeding - so giving her a break by changing her nappy and playing a little bit after burping.
She doesn't seem to have any winding issues as she is not bringing much up and is doing big burps.
Do you think this is a phase? That she simply is telling us in her own way that she doesn't, at this moment, want anymore feeding beyond around 130/140ml at a time?
