have this problem?

Trying to get Hannah to eat her bottles is like an Olympic sport now She gets easily distracted and just doesn't want to finish her bottle!

Suggestions on what we can do to encourage her to eat more welcomed!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS OMFG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! It's getting that bad sometimes, that I literally have to hold her arms and legs still and it can take up to an hour for her to decide she doesn't want any more after all the stop/starting!


The only thing we've found which helps (but not every time!!) is to give her the bottle while she's sat in her bouncy chair. But TBH the only time she stays still and takes her bottle properly is when she's really tired!!

I'm getting a bit fed up with it all TBH and am fed up of being kicked, punched and scratched while she's happily sucking on her bottle!!

Aww bless, theres just too much going on, and she likes a nosey! You could try singing to her, that might keep her attention to you. I dunno tbh x

Glad I'm not the only one! She makes me want to hit my head against a wall

Sometimes she only takes 2 ounces and than is off to other things!

Yes, and it is just as frustrating when it is your boob! Bren goes on, comes off, on off on off.

Stan moved her from the couch to the bedroom, to her room, to the living room just to get her to eat

lol... I have a baby who is interested in trying to hold the bottle... which makes it hard feeding cause her hands are in the way and dont do a good job lol.

It doesn't get any better. Hannah not only holds the bottle now she pushes it away when she wants a breath or when she finds something more interesting etc.
