Fussing at every bottle

[sleeping bubs]

Mckenzie is driving me mad every single bottle is a nightmare, I wait till he cries for a bottle he has a little usually about 1oz then fusses, wriggling turning head generally takes an hr to feed him, he then decides he wants some milk then drinks it no problem (some times) only when he is laying down though. Its coming to a point that I dread feed times. Any advice?? We have changed back to TT fast flow teats from NUK bottles.

My LO is exactly like this... normally its wind and she'll bring up a big burp and carries on, other times she still turns her head and wriggles, so i dunno i guess lol, some help I am lol Try winding, that may help ?

I went through a very very similar sounding thing with my LO recently and thankfully she does seem to have come out of it. I was like you though, absolutely dreading feeding times.

A couple of things I did notice with my girl were 1) I started to feed her in her rocker chair and she didn't flail about so much.

and

2) I 'ignored' her when I was feeding her - didn't stop her to wipe her chin or burp her, didn't talk to her or interact with her, until she started to give me signals that she wanted winded. I would also take the bottle away from her when she started to flail about and just sit quietly rubbing her back for 5 mins or so until she wanted the bottle back. if she didn't take it, then I just accepted she was finished.

Hope it settles down soon for you - I know how draining I found this phase

I'm going through this right now as well My LO is 3 months old and all of a sudden since last week has been fussing and crying at every feed. He used to take 6 oz every 4 hours and now its a struggle to make him have 3 oz. Its so draining and frustrating and i don't know what to do
