We took Max to doctor last Friday after he refused milk for 14hrs and he has gained no weight in 3wks. Doctor still thinks this is related to reflux re; heartburn not healed thus he has no appetite and possibly relates milk to pain. We have started him on Losec. He always drinks his milk through night so now I am waking him on 4th hr to get the calories in. But he no longer cries for drinks at night anymore like he used to. If I didnt get up he would have a grizzle for 30seconds and fall back asleep. Before he used to cry until fed. Anyway he still fights the bottle during the day. I decided to get all bottles,teats, 2 different formulas and my breast milk with and without thickener. Waited until 5th hour then lined them all up and tried each very patiently. He took about 70ml reluctantly as usual, put water bottle to his mouth and sucked away. I know its not the teats because he takes bottle so well at night when sleepy. If he takes a good feed I will mix what he hasnt taken with cereal and he loves taking that from spoon. My husband even fed him milk from spoon the other day when he refused bottle and he was grabbing at it like he was starving. So hard and messy to do it that way. Today I have had a little more success. He fights for a bit but I use my stern voice instead of my soothing voice and finally he gives in and has taken a lot more than usual. I am offering feed every 4 hrs. He schedule works - wake, play for about half an hour, feed, play, he will have been up total 2 1/2 hrs, then sleeps about 45minutes. I would offer him feed first from waking but the time for feed always falls about an hour short and I cant get him to sleep any longer. He always goes down for his naps well. - Thanks
