My 4 week old is all of the sudden struggling with bottles. He seems to be getting the milk too fast but we have tried what seems like every bottle under the sun with slow flow nipples. He flails his arms, coughs, screams, etc.
My husband tries to feed him once a day with a bottle with me no where in sight and he still struggles. I first introduced a bottle at around 2.5-3 weeks per my lactation consultant and he did fine then.
Any suggestions on how to help him? He needs to be able to take a bottle when I can't nurse him and it is so sad to watch him struggle TIA!
Re: LO having trouble with bottles
Also, suggest that your DH try holding the bottle parallel to the floor, so the nip only has a little milk in it. That slows the flow and lets baby have more control over how much milk he pulls.
