Can’t feed my own baby
Currently crying as my 7 week old just won’t feed anymore and I’m worried something is wrong.
She was taking around 3-4oz every 3hrs but the last few days will barely have an oz or 2 with pushing the bottle away with her tongue/hand and making a a big fuss and crying.
She has Kendamil and Mam bottles, no known issue so far with allergies etc. was weighed today at 8lb 13oz.
What am I doing wrong? 😢

My baby girl is going the same. Such a battle to feed her and she’s 7 weeks today too. Pushes the bottle away, is unsettled on the boob, it’s so frustrating 😭 cries because she’s hungry but won’t feed and when she does feed a bit she stops then screams!
You are not alone ❤ I EBF and my 9 week old do the same, maybe is just colic , sometimes they fussy, she will settle don't worry ,try maybe to wind her more than usually, with my little madam work.
Have you tried Infacol or Gripe Water?

You’re doing nothing wrong!! Please try not to blame yourself (I know it’s easier said than done) - but you’re absolutely not the problem. It could be colic maybe? Or I find if my son is particularly windy he starts pushing the bottle away and is very wriggly so I have to spend some time getting it out of him before he’ll have some more. Could you call your health visitor or GP perhaps for some advice? But one thing I know for sure, it’s not you! You’re doing a great job x
