It's always been "hard" to feed DD but lately I'm so done with it. When ever it's time to feed her a bottle I dread it. It's hard work!!! I feel like most of the milk ends up on the cloth I've placed under her mouth. MESSY eater is an understatement. But if it were only this I would be fine. We are experiencing lots of fussing and on and off the bottle who knows how many times. She seems so hungry at the beginning but 1 or 2 ounces in and she seems completely uninterested. I'd leave it at that but then 2 hrs later she's hungry again. It isn't common for me to just be done after 3 ounces and then feeding happens hopefully every 3 hours if she can make it. I can get another ounce in easier if I wait 30-45min but that's pretty inconvenient. She feeds really well at the dream feed and her night feed usually taking 5ounces at both of those feeds. However, it's a struggle to get even 4ounces in during the day time. I thought perhaps if I try to stretch out feeds it would make feeding easier and so today I stretched her out 3.5hrs, which involved a lot of distraction, and after 2 ounces she was fussing and wiggling a bunch. Laying her down flat seems to help us get a little more in but even with this her head is going back and forth and milk is flying in my face, which totally annoys me. I'm pretty unsure of how to make feedings easier, or if there is any way. If there is, I am obviously unable to think of it.
