feeding aversion 4m old
Feedings have become dreadful. My 4m old was recently dehydrated so I pushed fluids per her pediatrician and clearly may have pushed to hard and now my baby is refusing to eat all together. If I don’t push she will only eat an oz - 2oz per feed. Resulting in close to only 14oz a day only if I dream feed at night as well. I try offering a bottle every 1.5 - 2 hours since she’s eating so little and am now realizing it may not be helping but instead creating a snacking habit and maybe adding onto the pressure from offering to often. I’m starting the Rowena Bennett program tomorrow. I’ve actually yet to read the book but have gotten most of what I need to know online. Has anyone dealt with this before? Has anyone specifically followed Rowena’s program and been successful? Of course I am so nervous to start, my heart aches for my baby who’s clearly hungry but won’t eat.. I seen something online about offering bottle when babies showing signs of hunger, but my baby is constantly showing signs of hunger but refusing to eat, so does that mean I should space out feedings to every 3 hrs to get her more hungry? Any tips would be so much appreciated. I’m so nervous about her becoming dehydrated again or losing weight. Been physically nauseous myself most days because it stresses me out so bad. I’m curious as to how long it will take before I see any improvements.
