I have a 12 week old little girl, she's always fed well - has infacol before each feed to help bring her wind up, has done from very early on. Over a week ago she had been finishing off 7oz of formula - now every time I try to feed her she screams and wriggles around like she's in pain - she gets so mad! At the absolute most she'll drink 3oz but that's with having to stand and rock her whilst feeding! She's bringing her wind up fine, her nappys are all fine too...I put her onto the next size bottle teat as I thought maybe she's not getting it quick enough but nothing has changed.

Has anyone any ideas what the problem could be? The rest of the time she's absolutely fine, happy and smiling, sleeping well. I'm worried she'll start loosing weight soon, I just can't understand what's the matter!!

She might be teething? Mine refuses the bottle when a tooth is about to push through and happened about the same age - had two bottom teeth by 16 weeks. Try calpol gel on gums before putting bottle in mouth
