wont take her bottles

[smokey08]

Really need advice. Mia is point blank refusing her bottles all day. I have managed to get 13 ounces into her today but she usually takes at least double that. I know she's hungry coz she is sucking her hand, I'm at my qits end.
I'm kind of worried. Do your LOs do this? Am I over reacting?

What size teat is she on?

She may need a faster flow?

Is she feeling a lil bit unwell do you think? x

She is on the avent size 2's have tried the 3's but they are too fast for her.
She doesn't seem unwell, she's smiling and laughing...she just won't eat

Hmm.. Odd... I am not sure to be honest.

The only thing I can think of doing is trying her with some cooled down boiled water.. See how she is with that.. If she drinks it, it could be an indication that perhaps she has become fussy with the formula and decided she no longer likes it! x

Will try her with the water.
I'm as puzzled as you, she see's the bottle and kicks up a fuss and starts arching her nack trying to get away from it. She didn't sleep much today tho and usually has her feeds after a nap so I'm wondering is this it.

Ella had a day like this not long ago, it got to about 4pm and she had had about 11oz i was so worried then she only took about 5oz before bed, slept for about 9 hours and guzzled 6 7oz bottles the following day!

i think sometimes they just dont 'fancy' it! if she seems well in herself i would just see how she goes but if she struggles again tomorrow i would see dr/hv just to be sure she doesnt get dehydrated x
