Bottle feeding gulping

4 replies

My 4 month old is hungry wanting bottle. She's gulps down the milk and can hear it hitting her stomach. She will then pull away and cry then refuse to drink. It's so frustrating. I'm using drs browns bottles. Even when she's not gulping air I can still hear milk hit tummy and know that she won't drink now even though she was clearly hungry.

Get a slower flow or vari flow teat?

And pull feeds closer together so she's not agitated and ravenous.

Is she gulping it down because it’s being tipped up and she can’t get away? Babies can’t really breathe properly that way and they like to take breaks whilst feeding. If you’re using a bottle, have her semi upright and the bottle horizontal, allowing her to drink herself slowly and breathe/take a break at the same time.

Use a slow flow teat, feed less milk more often.
