Baby screams after every bottle - normal?

[Halpinr]

I have twin boys and for weeks now they cry as soon as their bottle is finished. The minute I remove the bottle it starts, it's like they take so much comfort in the sucking that they are sad it's over.

My question is, have any of you had this issue? How did you handle it? I'm giving them their dummy straight away and that seems to calm them, then they spit it out when they are contented. After a couple of good burps. But surely that isn't sustainable!

I'm beginning the weaning process and am dreading having to reduce their bottles (5x7oz ), I'm sure the crying will be even worse. I have been offering food after their bottle, would giving it before help do you think?

Any advice would be really welcome,

Anyone?

I have no experience of this sorry, but didn't want to leave you without a reply. Hopefully someone else will come along soon with some words of experience.

I'm a little puzzled as to why the dummy/burping routine isn't sustainable? If it works then isn't that ok?

Even if you are starting weaning you don't reduce the bottles for ages. What happens if you made up a bigger bottle would they still finish it then start screaming?
With weaning ds was on 8oz bottles plus 3 meals for a while then gradually wouldn't finish them then refused them but this was over the course of 4 months.

Perhaps you should report your own post Thisismyfirsttime and see if MNHQ can edit it?!

Thanks for your comments, I haven't decreased their milk but tried increasing them today and it was definitely better, no crying, just some grumbles.
