My baby girl is almost 3 months and has been refusing her bottle lately. She will take 1 to 2 ounces with no problem then she starts being fussy, crying, arching her back and then she gets really fussy if i try to give her bottle again. I burp her every 1 oz, avoid gassy foods (i pump my breastmilk and give it to her in a bottle). I have even tried other bottles, switching nipples.. I'm exhausted. Every feeding is like this..except the 3 am feeding.. someone please help!!!
Hello Bella's Mom,
I just sent you a private message too. Please call the doctor and get some advice on what to do. I know it is the weekend and you have an appt on Monday. You need to figure out if she is taking in enough fluids to stay hydrated and have a plan to get you through the weekend.
I hope you have someone to help you at home. This is hard work-pumping and refeeding, comforting and worrying. Way too much for you to do by yourself.
Let me know how you are doing-ok?
Jan
