I'm interested to find out if anyone else has had a similar experience.
My 13 week old son, who weighed 7lb when he was born, will not drink more than 4oz per bottle. On the odd occasion he may do 5oz but that's a rarity!
We feed him every four hours and the average he will drink is around 4oz. If we feed him three hourly he will only drink 2 to 3 ounces!
The biggest bottle he takes in a 24-hour period is at 3 am where he can happily drain 6 ounces in five minutes!
The rest of the time he shows very little interest in feeding. Sometimes he will scream the house down like he's starving before the four hour mark and then drink 2 ounces and then refuse to take any more.
It's extremely frustrating as I have another son who is 20 months old so don't really have time to spend 45 minutes trying to get him to drink a bottle.
Also know that I have not a chance of him sleeping through the night until he ups his daily food intake.
At his last weigh in he was over 10lb, so gaining weight, on 25th centile and he produces plenty of wet and dirty nappies.
I know some children are just picky eaters but I never experienced anything like this with my first son who was born at 4lb 6oz and was inhaling a 7oz bottle by the time he was four weeks old!
