hi girls, so this past week my 3 month old has been absolutely hysterical when i try to feed him. ive tried everything and he did have quite bad thrush which ive been treating and seems to have cleared up but he still wont feed properly. he usually took 3-4 oz every 3 hours its small because he has a heart condition and wasnt fed for the first 6 weeks of his life (tube fed) so we were gradually building up his feeds. His heart is fine we had lots of testing done just last week so i know thats not the problem! im just exhausted the moment i put him into position to feed him he cries hysterically, ive tried feeding him everyway possible even in his bouncer and he will cry,take about an ounce or 2 and then cry hysterically again. ive been burping him fine etc. i just dont know what to do with him anymore!!!! we are using the second flow teat with Dr Brownes xxxxxxxxx

Hi
My little one did this as well around this age, after a week of constant screaming during feeding but a very happy baby otherwise.I ruled out everything else ( his reflux playing up, wind etc) I changed his milk (cow and gate to hipp) and changed teats (size 2 to size 3) This made such a difference. He went from drinking 4-5oz per feed to 8 oz. He still has fussy ones but they are getting a lot better. I have also noticed that he has days where he eats everything and days where you struggle to get milk in him.
Hope that helps a little.
Good luck. X
