I feel like my child has got a bottle aversion.
She had tongue tie etc which I snipped so I pump and formula feed.
She lost 13% of her weight initially.
She has 6oz 4 x a day and one 5oz bottle.
She sleeps 12 hours.
She wakes up but doesn’t cry for milk but I give her a bottle because I feel I need to get the right amount of milk in 24 hours and as she sleeps 12 hours, i feel like I have to do within 3 hours each bottle.
If I stop giving her a bottle half way to burp…she doesn’t want to finish it and starts crying but I force her.
My first child wasn’t like this. They had approx 40oz of milk a day. Used to wake up crying for a bottle etc.
I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to decrease her volume as I can’t deal with her losing weight again.
However I feel like I’m forcing her to finish her feed as I’m worried about weight loss.
I don’t want to try the Rowena method if I can’t help it.
I used to use the formula pitcher but changed to the prep. Could this be it?
She used to able to finish a 4oz bottle in one go.
Has she got reflux or something? She doesn’t spit up, vomit or anything.
her feeding issues from day 1 are causing me to feel low 🙁
