Hey can i have advice pls girlies?

[Mrs A]

Hey, my Lo was taking 6oz every 3 hours (6x feeds daily), since 10 weeks he's only been taking 3-4 oz every 3 hours, and starts wriggling and spitting it out after that. Does anyone else have experience of this or have any advice? is this normal at 3 months?

Thanks in advance

Same happened here! Haydn was taking 5oz every 3 hours and was wantin more so i upped his bottle to 6oz. After that he started only takin 3-4 oz and sometimes I had to force him a bit to even take that amount! I reduced his bottles back to 5oz and he takes the lot again! No idea why. he is 15 weeks tomorrow but it started happening around the 10 week mark aswell! I thought it was maybe to do with his needles or something

It has happened to us too more or less in the same time, doc said because of teething or hot but as LO was gaining weight it was fine. It's passed after a few weeks, now he is taking 6oz every 3-4 h during the day and 5 oz during the night.

Megan does this too, sometimes she takes a full bottle without any problems (7-8oz) and other times she starts thrashing about like a loon after 3 ozs. I put it down to wind at first and spent ages trying to get more wind up long after I think there was any left but she would then just start wriggling around and thrashing her belly about as soon as I offered her more. She has settled a little bit in the last week or so but we do still have days. I think as long as your lo is gaining weight you don't need to be too concerned. Hope that helps a bit!! x

my LO keeps doing this, shes on 9oz bottles at 5 months, sometimes she will only take 4oz and other days she will take a full 9oz.....maybe he wwent through a growth spurt where he was extra hungry and mnow the amount he takes is filling him.
