DS is constantly feeding because he gets tired out?

[kimbob89]

Hiya, my DS is constantly feeding on and off all day. He can eat upto 4oz a time but it can take him hours for him to drink it. He is currently on slow flow tommee tippee teats and I am thinking this possibly tires him out. He has a very strong suck but sucks for about 2 mins then falls asleep when I try to put him down he wakes up screaming then the same happens over and over. Weve tried him on the variflow teats but the milk comes out so fast he vomits every time we try them. Ive tried tickling him when he falls asleep, moving him around, changing him but nothing really works!

I can tell hes frustrated as hes always feeding and is really tired too. If anyone has any advice id really appreciate it

Could your LO have a tongue tie? I know it's different than a bottle but my LO acted the same way when we were EBF. My LO drank much better from a bottle (sadly it never helped BF much) once we had it clipped.

Try the medium sized teats, Cameron was doing exactly this and is much better with these. It was frustrating, especially at night when he would wake every 2 hours and took an hour to feed!

Try the next size teats. LO is on the 6m ones already as he's so greedy and couldn't be bothered to drink all his milk on slower ones xx

Like the others said, it's time to change teats. My DD has been on level 2 teats since she was 3 weeks old. She would just get fed up and fall asleep on the bottle.
