Formula feeding!
Hi ladies! My baby boy arrived 2 weeks early on 7th January, has anyone else had trouble with there little one taking a bottle? Every feed is hard work just wondering if anyone has any tips or if I’m doing something wrong
Thanks!

Some feeds he can be quick but then others can take forever or he’ll take a small amount then not take anymore. He does get hiccups quite a lot. We went to A&E about it at the beginning of the week and they did all checks on him and everything is fine and they couldn’t really understand why he didn’t take it either, x
For us, this turned out to be due to a milk allergy that was causing him pain/discomfort so he refused feeds because of that. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case for you but could be another possibility to consider

Is he taking a really long time to feed? Or leaking a lot on the bottle? Super burpy, gassy or hiccupy, or throws up a lot right after feeding? Those could be signs of a tongue tie or lip tie.. you can have your pediatrician or a lactation consultant check it out! My boy ended up having a tongue tie.. and feeding has been a real struggle, but we are getting it cut on Monday! Hopefully this makes if easier for both of us 🤞🏼
