My baby is 4 weeks old, he has always been bottle fed however he seems to have some difficulties with it. I use mam bottles and I started him on a size 1 teat (as I did with my other son from newborn) and he would splutter and choke a lot, so we switched to size 0 teats. He still splutters and chokes randomly and gulps the milk, or will spit out a bunch while feeding. He makes wheezy sounds a lot and will "gasp" while feeding too which makes a high pitched sound. He also takes a really long time to feed - up to an hour for 4oz.
He also seems to not realise the bottle / dummy is in his mouth sometimes and will accidentally push it out with his tongue - or cry because he wants food but doesn't realise its there for him!
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced similar? I've tried to look at his tongue in case it was tongue tie but I don't really know. Nothing was mentioned in hospital.
