...or when he has had enough?

before he used to fall alsepp towards end of feed but now he rarely does do in the day

and he keeps playing with teat spitting it in and out - but could that also mean he is full?!

I really really dont want to overfeed him

getting a bit worried!

any advice appreciated!

Take it away and wind him, try again if he still seems hungry. Sometimes they just like to play with it, it's a new sensation etc. If he seems happy enough after you've winded him, or carries on playing with it he's probably had enough for the time being.

oh i see.

if he is getting bored, and not feeding, tehn take the bottle away and do soemthing else.

my DD was a snacker, little and often, never really took big feeds.

bottle is ok for an hour once it has been made up

dd and babyTwit were the same, although ds1 &2 wanted it quickly.
