Sudden bottle refusal at 16 weeks

2 replies

16 week old baby suddenly refusing bottle. He was previously drinking 6oz happily every 3-4 hours but suddenly refuses bottle and after a battle will only take 3 oz max. He did have 1 bottle of different brand formula at the weekend. Could this have caused the problem and how do I solve it? I'm finding myself getting really upset with the battle at each feed and the small amount taken. Any advice welcome.

Hi, have you tried moving up a flow size on the teets? Ours refused for a few days and we realised he was probably frustrated at the flow, changed the teets, all back to normal X

Thank you for your advice. I tried swapping to a size 3 teat and it just seemed to drown him.. should I just carry on with this and he will get used to it?
