My 4 month old baby as well!!! It’s been 2 months of not drinking well we even brought her to her PD to check as we suspected oral thrush, or teething etc. all’s well with her (thank god !) but recently we found a new way of feeding her, usually we will cradle her to feed and it’s not working .. so we tried a new method, as she loves to suck her thumb, we lay her down flat on our bed, after she sucks her thumb for awhile we remove it and slot the bottle in and she drinks.. maybe u can try this method also or maybe change your feeding style .. all the best..
How much are you feeding? Have you considered you could be overfeeding in the first two months? Babies are very good at regulating their intake. I suggest that you follow your baby's lead instead of forcing her to drink a certain amount.
My 4 months old also facing same thing now. Only drink half amount 😭 and will push bottle teat away with tongue. Sometimes cry murder even when the bottle teat alr inside ehis mouth
So tough… 😭 Jiayou! I went to PD and she said not to force. If she shows signs of refusal, then stop, rest for 15mins, try another 2 times of offering. If she doesn’t want anymore, then that feeding is done. Slowly she said the aversion will improve. We are trying that now.
Have you tried changing a bottle or upsizing her teats? Also, she could be teething as well.
Yes upsize already, drank well for awhile then it went back to aversion again :(
