Issues with bottle
Show your support
We were trying to do one bottle of expressed a day, warmed, with paced feeding, sat upright, before bed. My husband was giving it. She started to reject it about a week ago so I tried lying her back in a position that she would use to BF and she chugged 2oz. We have also tried to give her a bottle during the day today so I could do a gym class and I came back from it and she had chugged it again: think was rejection due to not being hungry/being too much effort for her with paced feeding.
I sized up the teats, tried 2 different sizes.. the 2m+ and the 4m+ … both times she wasnt happy with it, drinking a bit and spitting it and looking for my breast 🥲 she s been used to mixed feeding since she was born I m not sure what has happened now.
I read somewhere if you breastfeed it’s best to keep them on a smaller teat so they don’t get lazy on the boob, I haven’t upped my teats yet cause I enjoy breastfeeding but do give the occasional bottle
Have you tried replacing the teats? Or sizing up? X
