Baby refusing bottle at 5 months

3 replies

Shaz0101 · 30/01/2020 14:32

My baby is 5 months now and always been an excellent feeder on the bottle. She is now formula fed for the past two months. Last 11 days it's a struggle to get a third or half bottle down her. She screams and cries even at putting the bib on. Have no idea what has happened. She does have reflux and is on omeprazole 5ml twice a day. Any ideas?

OP, that happened to us...simple solution ...the hole on the teat was too small...you can either get a teat with a larger hole or just enlarge the hole on present teat.....it is extremely frustrating for wee ones when they are starving and only a little squirt of formula will come out ....they almost expend more energy fighting the teat and fussing about it than they are able to take calories in
..hope this helps...fixed problem for us in one feeding! The teatFlowerss are marked sometime with 0-3 or 6 months and then +6 months

How close to 6 months is she?

Could you try starting her on some fruit / veg?
