Welcome to TBW boards and congratulations
Does Daniel display any of the following symptoms;
* restlessness, irritability and disturbed sleep patterns
* sore, red gums
* flushed cheeks
* loss of appetite
* a slight rise in temperature (but not above 39oC, which indicates a fever)
* dribbling (which may cause a rash or sore, chapped skin on the chin)
* a sudden desire to chew anything they can lay their hands on!
* an urge to bite. This should not be perceived as a sign of aggression or anger, more of a means to ease the pain.
http://www.teething-babies.co.uk/easing-teething/index.htmlIt sounds to me it could be teething
The fact he is pulling off after a few oz's means that the suction created from sucking on the bottle really hurts their little mouths. A tip would be to rub his gums with teething gel BEFORE you go to feed him, another would be to try and give him a 5 - 10min rest and start feeding again (you have already increased teat flow) and try and feed him from a sippy or open cup. It will be a bit of a muddle but at least he will get getting milk.
His is fontanel sunken? He is still producing lots of wet nappies?
