Can anyone offer any advice ?
My 15 week old son has recently started being sick after the odd feed and is now refusing his bottle, he has been fed on both bottle and breast since 3 weeks old and has always fed fine and not had problems going from one to the other, his general health is very good and he is happy,content, no temperature etc but he has recently started refusing a bottle and was being a sick after some feeds( breast or bottle), he isnt refusing breast feed from me.
I think I can see the first signs of teething (first time mum so not sure but ie hands in mouth, bit of dribbling and chewing anything )Has anyone come across not feeding from a bottle or being sick as a sign of teething.
I took him to ther doctors a couple of days ago but they didnt seem too worried as his general health and weight are good, but I am sure I dont produce enough milk for him as he hasnt been soley breast feeding on myself for over two months, the reason we did dual feeding with a botle aswell as he always seemed like he didnt get enough milk later in the day.
I am getting really worried about his lack of feeding from a bottle and his sickness the few times he does

How many feeds a day is he having from the breast? It may be that if you think it over you can see he has been subtly upping the feeds and thus stimulating your supply so he is actually getting enough from you now. They do all sorts of weird stuff when teething but being sick isn't something I've come across. Is it just a bit of milky sick you can wipe up with a cloth? Tbh if he is content and feeding well from you I would leave well enough alone.
