My 14 week old has been sleeping through and feeding pretty well considering he has had reflux and colic until the last few days. HE's on infacol and ranitidine, and a mix of bm and aptimal easy digest. However for last 7 days he's been so so difficult to feed, pushing the bottle away, hands in front of mouth, wriggling and writhing like mad, and he used to take between 6 and 9 0z per feed and now i struggle to get any down, it takes about an hour to get 2 oz down sometimes!! One of the only ways he'll feed is if I make him go to sleep with a dummy and then sneakly swap the dummy for a teat. He takes his night dream feed beautifully. He has also been waking alot in the night the last few nights, not hungry but just needed settling, and would wake every half hour or so and some points of the night! He doesn't have a temperature, I have spent hours and hours trying tpo work out the prob...... any ideas?

Have you the correct teat on the bottle? The flow may be too fast or too slow for him.

Yes i struggle with the teats. I always have a one and a two and see how the feed is going with a one first. Sometimes he can't cope with no.2 at all and others he'll take it. I'm aware my BM is much thinner than formula so i always use no. 1 for that.
I've just been searching some other threads, do you think he could be teething?
