Baby fighting with bottle.
So I just transitioned my baby from breastfeeding to formula. It was easy tbh. She hasn't had any reactions or complications.
The only problem I have is that she gets distracted so easily and I have to fight with her so she drinks her whole bottle. She drinks 1-3oz. And then refuses to drink more. I have to walk, sing.... She's drinking between 20-30 oz every day... I don't know if that's good or bad... We are giving her solids 3 meals and 2 snacks. (Doctor recommended since she was not gaining weight )
Is that normal for babies to fight when they are drinking their bottles? I almost cry every time that I have to throw away the ounces that she didn't drink....
She's gonna be 7 months in a week. How many oz should she be drinking?
Thanks

Some babies just don’t drink as much. My daughter never drank more than 5 ounces at a time and I didn’t want to force her and her pediatrician said that was fine. I think at 6 months old she was only drinking 3 ounces and ate about every 3 hours or so. The only time my daughter would fight the bottle was when she wasn’t hungry.

My daughter gets way too distracted while drinking from a bottle. It’s so irritating. She eats about 4.5 oz every 2-3 hours during the day and then sleeps all night. I’ve been told she should be eating 6-8 oz in a feeding but she never will so we keep it less oz and just feed more often so we waste less. My clinic said 30-32 oz per day.
