Hi
My little one (almost 8 weeks) has been bottle fed from the beginning. He used to feed fairly well but recently I have noticed that his feeding has become very erratic. He is on 7 feeds a day and they vary from 50ml to 180ml+ depending. A few things I have noticed:
- he feeds better at night. Hi dream feed and middle of the night feed are usually 100+
-his bedtime feed is a disaster. He goes down screaming almost every night but, over the course of one hour+, will take about 140ml
-his daytime feeds vary, which in turn affects his nap. He has just (at 6.20am) taken 50ml having not fed since 2.30am. This doesn't seem like much to me. He has gone down for his nap after a shorter than usual playtime (45 mins). I would be surprised if he makes it through to the next sleep cycle on 50ml...
- yesterday and the day before, he threw up his entire early morning feed.
- he appears to me a little uncomfortable and spits the bottle in and out several times before eventually taking it (if he takes it at all). Sometimes I feel I am forcing it into him.
Someone has suggested reflux? Does anyone have experience of this or recognise these symptoms? Another has suggested an intolerance?
Thank you
