Advice formula feeding

My little one is almost 5 months old! He use to feed 210 ml in one go however he is now only taking 90 ml. He starts playing and pushing the bottle out after drinking the 90 ml. Does anyone have advice? Feeding him has become a challenge 😩 I feed him every 3 1/2 to 4 hours. It makes no difference how long he goes between feeds. He will not drink more than 90 mils.

Hey it could just be the teething, my LB barely drinks anything when his teeth hurt he just plays about with the bottle (same with his dummies) even if he’s not showing pain sometimes it’s just irritating, I have a teether along with the bottle so I can switch to the teether when he starts chewing the bottle , I hope this helps 🩵x

My LG drinks 210ml in about 2/3 stages as she is exactly the same! Usually we give her half and then change her nappy or do a different activity for a bit and then try and give her the other half. Similarly to Danielle I think part of it could be teething as she loves chewing on the teat of her bottle rather than actually drinking the milk😂 hope this helps xx

Is the tray the right size? My girl started this and so I changed the teat size to the next one up and she’s drinking it all again!

Have you upped the teat size ? If not try it as he’s probably bored if milk coming too slow
