At a loss with Evie. For the last 5 days or so she is completely off her feeds. She usually has 4 or 5oz every 2-3 hours and I’m now getting less than 10oz in her through the whole day and the 10oz she is taking is a huge battle. She’ll take 1oz or so of a bottle then completely refuse it and not want anymore. She’s not crying for a bottle, I’m having to offer it to her after several hours. Anyone been through similar? Should I just leave her to it and assume she’ll pick her feeds back up when she’s ready, or should I call the doctors? Pic as example from yesterday
Have you started weaning her? Maybe try mixing her formula with some porridge and see if she will take it, at least she's getting a bit more in her system that way? Or yoghurts for the calcium she's not getting from the formula x
Does the teat on the bottle need to go up a level so shes not working so hard to get anything out? X
No I literally just bought new bottles and teats . Tried her with her old ones and tried her with the new ones, no difference at all 😓
This is what I'm currently going through with Isla in hospital, she usually has 4-5 ounces every 3-4 hours but for the last four or five days she's only been taking no more than an ounce and a half, anything more she's throwing back up, drs still have no clue why but this morning she spiked a temp
Yeah Evie is a greedy baby she normally guzzles her bottles and wants feeding every 2 hours so it’s super weird for her to not be interested. She’s not throwing it up or anything, she just doesn’t want it! Hope your little ones alright
How long has this been going on for lovely? Its very normal for babies to have dips in feeding youll probably find that next week shes super hungry and picks back up again. It could also be teething even though she has no visible signs it can put them off having a bottle in their mouth. If it doesnt pick up by next week then yes id take her to the doctors but if shes not crying or anything and seems happy in herself i wouldnt worry too much xx
About 5 days so far. She’s just completely not interested. She refuses a bottle all together but when it’s been a few hours I persevere and she eventually takes it but only 1 or 2oz. Her sleep is entirely messed up as well, she’s gone from sleeping through the night to waking 3-4 times every night for the last week. I’m hoping the 2 are linked and it’ll all sort itself out cos this is draining 😅 x
Maybe teething
