Hi mummies, my lil bub is 4 month old and is drinking 90ml in infant care on an avg 3 times a day, when we are home i direct latch. Previously she was only drinking 80ml and i have just increased to 90ml 2 weeks ago after my massage lady commented that my bub is drinking too little. The teachers feedback that she was slow drinker and suggest to change bigger teat. should i change to bigger teat and risk being rejected by bub? should i increase to 100ml per feed?

My bub drink very little milk ..3oz each feeding since newborn to 1 old. I changed the teats when he reach 6 mo...to the biggest size as indicated. But that doesnt increase the milk intake at all. Now my son whom is going to 3 years old, only drink 4oz (110ml). I was worried about his growth too. He is a picky eater, that make it worst. But eventually he still will grow tall and healthy kid.
