DW & I need some help if poss:
DS 15 weeks old; wouldn't breastfeed from birth, lost 11% of birth weight and put on formula by hospital. Tried breast feeding at home but still wouldn't take despite lactation consultants, cranial massage etc. etc. DW expressed and so he was fed 50/50 for the first 14 weeks. Put on weight, is 99th percentile for height and 98th for weight. Last weigh-in at 13 weeks was over 18lbs. Started to sleep from 11-7. Very happy, chatty, smiley etc. Happiness all round. We thought we had the perfect baby......
But in the last week or so it's all gone Pete Tong. He seems to have started teething. We have tried Calpol, Nelson's granules, Calgel with some limited success and also switched to Aptamil Hungry Baby feed for the 7pm & 10.30pm feeds. But things seems to be getting worse. He screams when he's hungry but bring a bottle anywhere near him and he screams even more. BUT sometimes he'll happily take 4oz of the usual 8 and THEN start wriggling, screaming, spitting. We can burp him but even after that he still won't feed and pushes the bottle away. We have been using Dr. Brown bottles and we switched to a faster teat and that worked for a day or two but not so much now. We can sometimes get an oz down him but then it's almost as if once it hits his stomach then he wants to stop. He is happy (ish) to lie and play on his mat, or sit on our laps but if we recline him into a feeding position then he starts to wriggle etc. He is reasonably content and doesn't seem ill, he just doesn't want food.
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON??????!!!!!
