Hi,
Our LO is 11 weeks old, she has always been a great feeder from birth, however last weekend I noticed that she had been playing up abit when feeding, taking longer to feed, burp, loosing interest in feeding she was generally having between 4/5oz every 4 hours during the day with 1 feed during the night.
I read that they can get like this when the teat is too slow, she was on size 1 so I went and brought size 2 and she feeding like a dream again & I thought id cracked it... until this wkend!!!
Most of her feeds she has the first 3oz easy, I wind her (which is generally fine) and then I've been fighting to get the 4th oz in.
My husband suggested that they can get put off the milk if it gets too cold so we have been putting the bottle into boiled water just whilst we are burping to keep it warm but it doesn't really do much.
I have a few times changed her nappy and tried again to get that 4th oz in.
I also continued to feed her without stopping to wind until she wiggled to let me know she needed burping - on this one occasion she had almost 4oz did a good burp and then she carried on and she had 5oz, Although this didn't work the next time round?
She isn't in any pain, she isn't crying or anything like that, if anything she has the bottle in her mouth smiling at me and trying to chat to me, which is adorable ❤ or she just pushed the teat out with her tongue or turn her head side to side.
Have you experienced this? Is this just a phase that will pass? Any tips on getting her back to feeding the way she once was?
