Reduced feeds

My twins didn’t like feeding at night, cause they wanted to sleep through the night, they wouldn’t even take the bottles when I woke them up. And at first since they weren’t taking the bottles at night they wouldn’t take them in the morning even though they were hungry, tried different bottles and nipples. It was a trail and error, since they would suck on their pacifiers like they were feeding, I found nipples that felt the same as their pacifiers to them and they went back to feeding just fine throughout the day. They got what they missed during the night throughout the whole day. They were drinking 4 to 6 ounces every bottle at first and it turned into 10 ounces after they stopped feeding at night.
What bottles are you using? Do you maybe need to go up a teat size? My little boy is 8 weeks too and he is a bit fussy on the bottles at the min - I’ve ordered some size 2 teats to see if that helps xx
Thank you all
I have used mam bottles but changed to tommee tippee
@Peace my baby did that as well and I was told the more he sucks when breastfeeding increases milk supply especially if he feeds at night. Now his now on exclusive breast feeding and doesn’t even want to see the bottles he spits it out before even trying and he seems to be growing and gaining weight. Ended up buying a baby scale cause was also afraid breast milk wasn’t enough but well I was wrong now sometimes if I miss a feed when he sleeping I start licking and it alerts me that he missed a feed. And well he even sleeps better now
Wow Thank you so much
Maybe your supply has increased ? And he’s less bothered about the bottle as he’s more full ?
