Hi all, my baby is currently 2months plus. And I always have trouble feeding her milk, she can take 1hour plus to finish 120ml of milk and she always fidget, turning her head right and left keep looking everywhere during milk time. I would need to use some force on her to make her drink her milk. I know it would be a ugly scene if I were to bring her out and she act liddat. She would either play or fall asleep during feeding and always unable to complete her milk. My mum told me "she's grown up le wanting to plus not that newborn that lie down there drink milk anymore" my concern is if it's like what my mum say wouldn't it be worst if she gets older ? Any mummies have such issue ? How do you resolve it ? Does changing in to bigger teats helps ? And how do you keep your baby awake during feeding ?

Can try changing teat because the teat might be too slow for her but must monitor to see the new teat is suitable for her anot. She may not be able to cope with the new flow. Anyway, as baby grow older, they are able to hear and see more and they get curious with the surrounding. Like my baby, he always look around or push the bottle away etc when he drinks milk. So I usually walk and feed him. Like bring him around the house to see different things or change location etc. sometimes I take a break and talk to him etc then continue feeding.
