Honestly stressing me out , she used to be such a good eater 😭😭 it’s been getting worse over the past 3 days, and getting to the point I don’t like feeding time anymore.

I am finding the same with my little one is nearly 17 weeks. One bottle he will take 150 and the next he only wants 80/100. I am currently putting it down to the regression. I am just making sure he has plenty of wet nappies. If you are concerned, you could contact your HV. I hope it improves for you soon x
she does eventually have the bottle but takes like 45 mins! Don’t think it’s the teat size !
How many hours do you go between feeds? And how much did he use to have? C

I know easier said than done but don’t worry about it! My daughter went through something like this at around 10 weeks old and I was so stressed and kept offering that we nearly had bottle aversion. They will have what they want and its normal to have days when they feed less /more same as us adults. 150 is a good amount, if you said 50, i would be saying monitor nappies etc but as long as they are happy and them usual self just ride it out and if it continues to worry you, speak to GP. health visitors can’t really advise much apart from - offer more often, smaller feeds etc
thank you! honestly can’t remember if my son went through this it’s been nearly 7 years 😂 she eventually had 200ml but took 45 mins where as she normally has her 210 in about 15! She’s changing her own routine and dropping from 6 bottles to 5, I guess I have to go with it! Babies are stressful and make you worry 😂 I mean she’s a good weight and solid and wet nappies are good, but a bit constipated and I think her teeth are bothering her too

My daughter has dropped from 6 to 5 bottles as she now sleeps through the night and I offer her 180mil every 3-4 hours, she usually has between 150-180ml. She is gaining weight beautifully and has been on 50th percentile since birth! If your baby is hungry she will tell you, mine woke me up 4:30am this morning screaming blue murder for bottle and only had 100ml and fell back to sleep.
I mean I’m thankful for the 6 to 5 bottles 😂 6 was just aloooot! Mines on the 75th and always has been but I suppose as they get older they will lose weight from all the moving they are doing! She literally has stopped all her cues now, just constantly has her hands in her mouth and sucks at everything all the time.. even my cheek 😂 so I go around 4 hours between feeds she woke at 1:20 last night after having her feed at 7 the night before and then woke at 6:45 this morning! So she’s doing well in the night 😀

Yup mine is the same. We have to start amd stop around 3 times, then she's like oh OK, and then it's a toss up if she takes 50ml o 120ml. As long as they are still having wet and dirty nappies try not to worry too much. It is annoying though x
I’m glad it’s not just mine! She hasn’t had a poo for over 24 hours but I’m just going with that, sometimes she changes her poo schedule every now and then!

My Son is 16weeks and we’ve been going through this for about 10days. He’s refusing his bottle and has gone from having about 850/1000ml a day to having 450/600ml a day. Makes me worried but he’s suckling on the boobie much more than before so that’s some sort of consolation to me
yeah she would have around the same even up to 1100 a day but now she’s even dropped a bottle because of the timings she’s doing!

It’s the same over here and heck was I worried but reading that it’s happening to others around the same age kinda puts my mind to rest. I’d be begging my LO to eat like he can hear me 🤣
I even negotiate with him, “finish this bottle and you can have the breast for as long as you want”. He often gives in so maybe he can hear me and understands 🤣 🤣 🤣
I know right hahaha, she had a good day yesterday and then this morning fussy on the bottle after 5 hours from her last bottle! I’m like girl you gotta eat and she just looks at me 😂 but she’s deffo been using her voice more over the past couple days so I’m guessing she’s putting her everything into new skills and forgets that she’s eating 😂!
