My 11 week old has become the most fussy eater this past week. She used to be on a 4 hour eating schedule and was taking almost 5 oz. during each of her daytime feedings. We were having napping issues so with the advice of the ladies on the EASY forum, I switched her to a 3 hour eating schedule. At first she was really having a hard time eating every 3 hours and was barely eating any.. then about 2 weeks ago, she started drinking 4-5 oz. during her daytime feeds. I think she must have been going through a growth spurt during that week.. WELL.. this past week has been a nightmare during feeding time.. She will drink the first oz... then right after I get that first burp it goes down hill. When I try to feed her again, she starts screaming, spitting out formula.. I usually stop and give her the paci for a second until she calms then I can change back to the bottle.. She might eat a little more--or she might not... This afternoon at 4 she only drank 3/4ths of an oz. So I'm hoping that she will eat big at 7 but usually she is very grumpy and that time and will probably fuss..
I don't know if she just isn't hungry and doesn't want to eat-- or if something is hurting her after I burp her.. She does pretty good at her middle of the night feeding... She doesn't cry a bit during it.. (probably b/c she is very hungry)
I know that everyone says that she is too young to already be on a 4 hour schedule, but i'm seriously thinking about going back to it..
Any similar situations or advice??
