Over the last day or two my son has been refusing his milk. I'm taking him to the HV tomorrow, but in the mean time can anyone suggest anything to help?
He will take a couple of ounces, before turning away from the bottle and screaming. I've tried giving him a thorough winding and burps will come up. But then when he gets back into the feeding position he will scream again. No matter how long I leave him, he will scream as soon as I try to feed him again. He will settle if I put him in another position. He does it with me and OH, so I don't think it's how he's being held. I've offered him milk and water in a bottle and he does the same with either.
He's 14 weeks. He had his second lot of jabs yesterday which I put it down to initially, but he did this with his breakfast before his jabs and OH has just told me he did it with his last feed the night before. He's had half what he would usually today! And even that felt like an ordeal getting him to have that much!
