My 14 week old formula-fed* DD has been SUPER fussy during feeds for about 2 weeks now. She will drink about 1-2 ounces then start screaming or turning head away from the bottle. However, she WILL drink at night-time (5 or 6 oz bottle at about 7.30pm fed to sleep, then another 5oz or so at 2 or 3 am - no fussing at either). This makes me think it isn't reflux or intolerance, because she isn't showing any signs of distress at these night feeds. But this is my first child and tbh I really have no idea! She's averaging about 20oz per day (with MUCH effort) which doesn't seem enough.
We have tried: feeding in dark (in case distracted); changing teat size; feeding sitting up; feeding on the move; leaving longer between feeds (she rarely seems hungry tbh).
Otherwise, she is a really laid-back baby, seems healthy and the wet nappies are OK. I mentioned it to HV a week in, and she was not concerned as it had only been a week at that stage.
Perhaps it is just a phase, but if anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful!
*Formula fed by necessity - breastfeeding not possible.
