My little girl is 19 weeks old.
When she was about 6 weeks, we started mixed feeding (bottle while I was at work, breast after hours).
About 4 weeks ago, it became obvious I didn't have enough milk for her, and so she started full bottle feeding.
Since this time, most feeds (say 3 out of 4) she is very unsettled. She struggles and squirms, grizzles and grunts. She wants the bottle, but then doesn't want it.
Feed times have become a struggle, and the problem seems to have gone from bad to worse over the weeks. Her appetite has decreased enormously since we changed her to full bottle, some feeds she just doesn't want anything, other feeds, she leaves about 60mls.
She doesn't appear to have lost any weight, and she is still a very happy baby, just not at feed time.
Generally she is a 4 hourly feeder, with 1st feed of the day around 7am, and last 1 around 8pm.
She doesn't bring her knees up or anything like that when she is struggling with a feed, and she has no trouble bringing up wind, so we don't think it is a wind problem.
We never had this with our other 2.
Has anyone else had this problem??? Any advise would be appreciated.
