Argh feeding

[Lilelephant]

O has started leaving an ounce in the bottle then finishing it like 1hr and a half later!
He was having 5 oz every 3 hrs now it's 4 oz wait an hour and a half then 1oz then 1hr and a half wants another feed!!!

Any advice?

Can you leave an ounce sitting that long? I always thought you had to throw it away breast or formula after half hour or so.

 

[Lilelephant]

2 hours it says on box and I always put it in the fridge x

Sophie's doing the same. Is he falling asleep during the bottle then finishing the ounce? She falls asleep after 2 and I stay with her for half an hour and then and then she finishes the rest off

 

[Lilelephant]

He isnt falling asleep just won't take the bottle

He might have trapped wind which clears and makes room for more food, might be worth giving him a few burps before you stop his feed?!?!

He always brings up loads of wind. I wind him after every ounce as otherwise he struggles little burper!
