Hi all FTM here
My 8 week old has started being fussy with her bottle, she'll cry when she's hungry but as soon as I put the teat in her mouth she gags, pulls a face of disgust and sometimes coughs! It takes around four attempts of this until she finally takes it. Sometimes she will take the bottle straight away but the majority of the time we have this battle.
HV said could be oral thrush but she hasn't got signs of this and doesn't seem in pain.
Anyone experienced this, what could it be?

TIA xx

Could it be time to move to a bigger teat? Could be getting frustrated at sucking hard for small amounts of milk?

@OverTheRainbow88 Ah didn't think of that. I will look into it, thank you
