Any tips on how to get my EBF baby to take a bottle?
She used to take it well (though it wasn't a regular occurrence) and lately she is screaming when being fed. We upped the teat to size 1 and it made a slight difference, but she's taking less than she used to. She would previously do 4oz every 3 hours I was out. I was out this weekend and she had 3 oz after 3 hours, and at her next feed would only take 15ml !! She fell asleep for 2 hours then did a big breast feed. Do babies appetites even out or is she just not happy with the bottle?

Do you have a fast flow? Combi feeding over here and on a 2-3 teat as he was getting frustrated on a 1 x
Same, had to move to teat 2 and worked so much better after a few feeds

I think it's quite common for breastfed babies to drink less when they're away from mum and then make up for it when you're back together. X
