hi this might be a long read but i really need some advice.

my daughter is on neocate after trying 7 different formulas. she has a cmp and lactose intolerance.

she took neocate fine from when she started it up until last week so around 2.5 months 6 bottles a day with between 4&6 ounces in each.

she ended up in hospital last weekwith bronchiolitis because she was only taking 15 ounces in 3 days.

she is now refusing her milk altogether. she opens her mouth to drink takes two sips and refuses the rest.
she even cries when she sees a bottle now.

she has recently started on food (blw) so i think maybe now she has tasted food she has realised how horrible it is.

I've tried offering it hotter and cooler, different bottles, faster slower teats and in her sippy.

she's only took 8 ounces in 20 hours.

what should i do. any advice??
 
Have you tried feeding her in a different position? I found my LO sometimes gets frustrated with me holding her to feed so I sometimes feed her on her pillow/ in her bouncer, it's worth a shot. Feel for u tho hon it is so worrying when they don't feed, we've had no end of trouble with our baby since day one, colic, reflux you name it!
