Despite having taken a bottle perfectly well when combi-feeding, since moving to EFF this week I've been having a nightmare giving D his bottles. It's like he's not attaching properly. He makes slurping/ticking sounds, dribbles milk out the side and occasionally sprays it out the sides of his mouth while still sucking.
Night feeds can take an hour as he's often falling asleep on the bottle. I was up 4 times last night, with him taking only 2oz at 4:30am.... I thought about changing teat size but if he's getting so much that it's dribbling out the side, can that really be the problem? We're currently on size 1 TT CTN.
Thrush maybe? I'm currently trying (and failing) to get a look in his mouth.
Frustrating and tiring - he's currently on his third outfit of the night because he dribbles so much milk his chest is soaked. I am a sad mummy today
