Hi,
My LO is now 6 wks old and up until the last week she has always pretty much emptied her bottles approx (125mls). But the last week she has been taking 75-100mls and not showing alot of interest in her feeds. She tends to gulp alot at the beggining of the feed so I am winding and giving her a break 1/2 way through. And also is crying alot when I offer her the rest, but trying to suck and then gets upset.
She is on a 3 hour EASY and starting to light at the end of the tunnel with a better routine. She is DF at 10:30pm 125-150mls and wakes at approx 3:30am. And the night feed she has been only having 75mls also, but happy to sleep until 7ish.
My first was a reflux baby and am praying that this is not the case again, considering she has been a perfect feeder until now. However, this is what my first started doing at this age so.....
So my questions are: After having a big DF and then showing less interest in her NF should I be offering less at night to be able to offer more in the day already or is it too soon for that?
Is it too soon for the next teat size? Considering she is gulping at the beginning of the feed, I was thinking she is trying to get it faster and cause she isn't she is getting too much air and then getting annoyed at the end of the feed? It can be hard to tell sometime if they are fussing cause it's coming out too fast or too slow. She is still on the slow flow teats.
