Hi everyone!
My 16 week old is combination fed. We do two small BF per day (mostly for comfort/bonding now due to a low supply) and she is formula fed the rest. She was an amazing eater easily taking 200ml+ per feed no problem. Then all of a sudden a few days ago she acts like she’s traumatised when we try and feed her - crying and thrashing about. Sometimes me moving to a different room or standing up will occasionally make her drink, so I don’t think she is actually in pain or her tummy hurts or anything (cos she is ok afterwards too!). I think she might be starting to teeth as she is dribbling a lot and chewing on her hand, but I just don’t understand why she suddenly hates the bottle. It took me 50 minutes just now to feed her 150ml (and she dribbled a lot of it out), and previously that would have taken 10 mins. Literally on Monday this week I had to go make her a second bottle as she took 260 ml and couldn’t get enough of it!
Im just wondering if anyone else has any experienced this and has any advice or insight as to how long it lasts? I have the wonder weeks app and we are slap bang in the middle of leap 4… could this behaviour be a sign of a leap ?!
she’s such a happy baby usually (and still is when she’s not eating) and it’s so hard seeing her upset 😢
