Bottle fed baby suddenly refusing feeds?

Hi all!

So my nearly 13 week old is suddenly really gone off his bottles - he has always been bottle fed. He has CMPA and silent reflux but is on dairy free formula and medication and up til last week they were working great and I was seeing a huge improvement in him. This past week it's all changed. Every time I try and feed him in the day time he cries when I put the bottle in his mouth and turns his head away. I can't get him to take it. Occasionally if I stand up and jig him with bottle in mouth I can persuade him to take a bit but after a few sips he cries again. Doesn't seem to be as bad at night and certainly his 3am feed he doesn't seem to struggle with. He is VERY dribbly as well - could this be related to teething???? Im starting to dread every feed now - he gets so upset and must be hungry! Any advice would be appreciated xx

I don't have any advice but my almost 11 week old is the same. Only difference is he doesn't cry but he turns his head away and 'faffs' with the teat. He loved his milk up until 3 days ago and now it's a struggle to get 2 ounce down him, don't know why ?!
