What teat size is she on? We’ve recently moved my little girl from a size 1 to a size 2 and she’s so much better now x

Agree probably the teat size. How long do you leave between feeds?
Other suggestions/ things I’ve tried which work sometimes:
-Could try feeding when she wakes from nap when she’s still a bit drowsy?
- Or the opposite and giving 1:1 attention then offering bottle so she’s less distracted as she’s had attention?

Feeding every 3 hours at the moment tried feeding after a nap and she still won’t drink the milk and tried 1-1 so she not distracted both don’t see to work she just still hold the bottle looks around etc etc maybe she just isn’t hungry but today they have only been napping for about 30mins at a time

Yeah I thought of 4 hours but they don’t handle being awake any longer than 1.45-2 and naps are not consistent so not sure weather to change to 4 hours or not

Put the happy song on...😅 I did it by accident and for some reason it works...I don't make the rules 🫠

I will try anything at this point just to get her to drink milk as today she has only had about 500ml which is way less then what she was having and compared to her twin
