Evening ladies - my first post on this board, I'm usually found in multiples as I have 4 month old twins...
Twins are formula fed on Cow and Gate Nutriprem 2. Up until 2 days ago no real problems...they slept quite well (6/7 hours through night) until last week when they suddenly starting waking every 3.5 hrs but coping ok simply because they are excellent at going back to bed: DD1 was awful at it, for 6 months I remember it taking her 1.5 hr to go back to sleep after her feed: twins are brilliant at it and I am only up for about 15 mins at the most and they go back to sleep.
Anyway I digress...
Nia has started to refuse feeds. Over the last 2/3 days she has started to scream once she has a few sucks and will not calm down for approx 15 mins. Once calm I try again and she completely throws a wobbly, however I normally manage to get a few ounces in her.
But today, she fed at 3pm, took 3.5 ounces. I tried to feed her again at around 6 (as normal) and she was having none of it. Managed to get 1 ounce down. bath at 7.30pm, completely refused to suck bottle at 8pm. So basically she has had 1 ounce since 3pm today...
She has no temperature, no rash, normal nappies today/yesterday. Happy in the bath, lots of smiles etc.
I am refusing to panic (yet), however she's 4 months and weighs 9lb 8 (was 6 weeks prem) so when does this get serious?
