Hi,
For the past couple of days it has been a complete nightmare trying to get LO to drink milk.....never ever been a problem before and normally drinks 7oz 5 times a day. But its like i have to force it down him recently, each feed taking around an hour and still not getting it all. He is just pushing it out with his tongue and squirming to get away from it after drinking the first 2oz, he has also been sick quite a lot, he has always been a sicky baby so im not sure if it is much more than normal but feel like im noticing it more cos he isnt drinking as much. He has also got loads of little spots all round his chin which i thought were from drool but they have gone near his ears now aswell.... pharmacist said could be a number of things but def not to worry about them unless they get worse.
He has had 23 oz today and been a total nightmare to get that into him, normally he has 35oz no prob, i have started to give him one meal a day but that was a few weeks ago (by meal i mean couple of ice cubes) and have not increased that so cant be because of that as was fine for ages.
Any ideas, could it be teething problems (he has also been a lot more tearful) or should i take to see the doc tomorrow? They think im strange at that walk in centre as i go for every little thing!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the essay! x
