Our little one is 15 weeks old and for the past 2 weeks day time bottle feeding has been hard work. He is formula fed and has been on the same type of formula from about 3 weeks old. Night time feeding is an absolute dream - feed, burp, sleep with no problems. Daytime on the other hand, he just cries and it takes about 45 minutes to get a good volume down him. The only thing that seems to work is by letting him take one gulp, then stop, pat to soothe, and use a dummy which calms him down to then be able to give him another few sucks of milk. It is as if it is causing him tummy pain. He is burping okay (which has been helped by seeing an osteopath) and I don’t think it is wind. He is more dribbly however no other signs of teething. He doesn’t seem to have any other signs of silent reflux so I don’t think it is that - we went down the route of reflux treatment at 3.5 weeks old as he was showing more signs of that then but that ended up being pyloric stenosis which he had surgery for. There’s also no signs of allergy. The only thing I can think it would be would be overstimulation but quiet/ dark room doesn’t seem to make much difference either. Has anyone got any advice / ideas? I am hoping this is just a short phase and will pass, although I’m grateful it is just a day time thing.
