Loss of appetite, chewing teat, 3rd month

My baby just turned 3mo few days ago and recently it’s been tedious to feed baby (bottle feed) since the estimated 3rd leap for him. He can usually drink 120ml each feed but recently drinks poorly- suck one time then stop, chew teat, look around, can take at least 45min and may not even finish full feed. He is taking slow flow hegen teat as he cannot upgrade yet (sputters, coughs and leak milk from sides). Yesterday he just received his 3rd month 5-in-1 vaccine as well. Not sure whether this series of poor feeds it’s due to his 3rd leap or early 4th leap, or the side effects of vaccination itself.. Any mama experienced this? 😢

Does not cry when awake

LO is 2 mths old today. Realised nowadays when he wakes up he doesn’t cry immediately for milk. My baby awake window time is 1h..nowadays when he is awake he will look around for awhile. This eats into his awake window time and we don’t know when bb is hungry. Bu the time he cries for milk and we prepare , feed and burp him midway he is sleepy already and often doesn’t finish his 100 ml. Is this common?

does he cry in another times?

8 weeks old LO drinking varied amounts every day (ranging 590-850ml)

1. LO (8 weeks) ebm intake can range between 590ml and 850ml. Should this much difference in amount be normal? 2. My baby is most of the time sleeping through the night (about 7 hours) at 8 weeks now since 1 month+, and usually his last intake would be close to midnight. Otherwise his usual routine is every 2-hrly. Yesterday night, he woke up at 11+pm at night crying (her last feed was 9.30pm). I would usually offer my ebm right away so that he could sttn with a fuller stomach, but it was the first time that when he cried at 11+pm, I managed to pat him to sleep yesterday and he still hasn’t woken at 5am (writing as of now). Felt guilty and wondered if he was really hungry when he cried but he managed to fall asleep. Should I have offered him the milk then or let him sleep? 3. While baby is quite accurate at waking up 2 hourly in the day, his feeding timing is not quite the same everyday e.g. his first feed of the day is sometimes at 5am sometimes at 7am (depending on his last feed) which will then affect his next feed. Should this daily inconsistency in feeding times be normal at 8 weeks old and that I should just follow his hunger cues?

hi mama every baby intake of milk differently. you are so lucky to have your baby sttn that young. your baby might have growth spurt which he or she cries for milk more frequently. you should follow baby cues if your baby wakes up asking for milk just give if your baby sleeping then just let your baby sleep

Baby - milk or sleep

If baby wakes up and cries at the 2h mark after last feed, should i give him milk or pat him to sleep more? He is able to sleep after some patting.. and now has a hard time waking up and is past his feed time

Babies cry for many reasons. mostly they cry when they feel hungry. Frist feed the baby. then help baby to sleep more. if baby cry with out sleeping. then there may be another reason .

Fussy baby especially during feeding, more alert, sleep poorly

My 1 month old plus baby (week 6) is suddenly crying a lot more than usual especially during (bottle) feeding ebm and drinks less than the usual 90ml. It’s challenging to feed him. Teat size seems ok - using hegen slow flow but make take at least 30min to drink finish and sometimes falls asleep midway. Other than that, he seems very alert these days. Is this his first leap? He is seemingly fussier the past few days. #1stimemom #breasfeedingmom

1 month+ baby - doesn’t drink well from hegen slow flow teat designed

My lo (6w) has been using hegen teat designed for 1m+ but recently it’s becoming tedious to feed as he would often drink, say, 50ml out of 100ml and stop and hover his mouth over the teat and does not suck and falls asleep quickly. 1. Shd i upgrade to medium flow (but it’s for 3m+)?? 2. Also is it normal for babies not to drink the full amt prepared consistently ? Like sometimes they may take only 3/4 of it.. should i expect a range of amount instead?#firstbaby #1stimemom #teat #hegen

Hey mummy! I’m using hegen as well but for my case I went to my paediatrician to get him checked for his milk intake on almost monthly basis. I was not aware initially that I was over feeding him, at one month old I was feeding him 90-100ml and my PD told me to stop and feed base on his body weight. So he recommended to start 70ml and now I’m at 100ml. My son is almost 3months and drinks his milk completely and has no reflux. I think you shouldn’t upgrade the teats as the flow could be too fast for your baby causing him to choke,try lessening the intake instead.

5 weeks old Feeds - Different amount?

Is it okay if bb ( normal feed by bottle- 90ml) doesn’t finish his feed sometimes? Must he constantly finish his ‘normal’ feed? Sometimes my baby just doesn’t have the mood to finish..
