Fighting bottle

3 replies

Hi, please help!!

My son will be 6 weeks on Sunday. For past two days he literally fights his bottle.
He screams in it, choking on the milk, moving his hands forcefully around and it's one big aaarrrgh when feeding...

We are checking the temperature as is the same as usual, we gave him teat with better flow, we have tried several different types of teats (shape, size, flow), we have tried several feeding positions, we are burping him more frequently, and nothing works for him..

He is exclusively bottle fed since third week, and there was no problem ever before..

When we pull bottle out of his mouth, he screams in horror!!

Have anyone had the same problem??

My youngest was like this, and it was reflux. I’d recommend trying to speak to the specialist feeding health visitor ASAP.
Does he hiccup a lot, or arch his back? What are his nappies like?
My DC’s reflux was made a lot worse by dairy, so it settles down loads after changing to an allergy formula.
