5 month old

I hope so too! my little ones been like this, his worst was yesterday, went from 8 till 3 only taking a couple sips of milk, wouldn’t take sips of water nothing🤦🏻‍♀️so frustrating because I don’t want him to drop in weight!x

It honestly it I’m there with you! I just wonder why? She has to be hungry. I thought teething but her gums have been swollen for a few weeks now x

We're in the same boat! I think he has 2oz from 7am till 3 this afternoon I ended up ringing the HV to see if they had any advice 🤣🙈 x

@Ashleigh did they offer any advice

Same here Lizzie and I have tired calpol, nurofen and teething powder and still no change, also tried 2,3,4 hour feeds and nothing. She’s happy in herself still and wetting nappies etc. I spoke to HV and they always say have you changed bottle and teat. It don’t matter what bottle I offer it’s still the same!. X

Only thing I can think is, it is developmental or teething. 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

I’ve read somewhere skin to skin contact whilst feeding may help😊🤞🏼

have you tried a teething gel instead? It comes with a massage applicator for their gums too. This seems to work for my little boy when he was refusing his bottles x

I Beth I have I have tried the Ashton and parsons one and the teething powder xx

Same here. There are days where I struggle to feed her cause of her bottle strikes. I found distracting her helps her finish sometimes, like walk and feed, give her a toy. I think this is another developmental and teething. It will eventually pass, hopefully

It is so frustrating ☹️ I tried feeding her standing yesterday and I’ve tried some of the feed let her have a play and come back to the feed which sometimes work but hasn’t been. She’s only averaging up to 800ml on a good day. Yesterday I was kick to get 500ml into her xx

so they said stuff we've all more than likely tried, go to a boring room, try having a necklace or scarf something they can play with, up teat size if you can (I refuse to spend another £20 on teats I'm on 3s🤣) the other thing she did say which hasn't been successful for me yet is she said you can use an open cup or sippy cup! The open cup he just spat it everywhere and the sippy cup he chewed 🙃 ccc

We’re on three too and when she wants it she will drink a bottle in under 10 minutes lol. Like you Ashleigh I’m not prepared to waste more money on tests, what sippy cup are you using? Xx

yep we're same here! And it's a tommy tippee one 6+ but they said it was okay however he doesn't have a clue how it works he just chewed on it xxxx

Maybe try early weaning? We did this and my girl loves it would rather eat over a bottle x

I had a read last night and if your LO is taking full feeds overnight so like mine has a feed every 4 hours through the night 7oz each time now he thrn goes from that 2nd feed roughly 6/7 hours before he will eat again, however before that 6/7 hours was at night time and its apparently called reverse cycling x

Esme just point blank refuses during the day and sometimes refuses a dream feed I had the entering leap 5 notification in my phone today and she’s started saying mom so I’m starting to think we’re in developmental stage x
