Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Refusing bottle...sort of.

Well, he's not exactly refusing the bottle.  But he'll arch and squirm and move the nipple sideways in his mouth for the first 5 minutes of a bottle feed.  He's never done this before....

He's been using Dr. Browns wide neck for some time without problems.  I know he's hungry because he opens his mouth for it...then he just starts playing around and not really drinking.  At least an ounce ends up all over his face and dribbling down his chin.  I know the nipple is the right size.

Anyone experienced this?  He's 50% BF/50% FF right now.  It's driving me crazy, especially since I'm also having BF'ing issues.

  • He's probably just busy watching things now! They do that--what's going on around him is way more interesting than food. Even if he's hungry!

    Exactly! My LO has started doing that too!  When he really won't eat...I go into his nursery so there are no distractions.  He's always trying to watch tv when I'm in the living room...or look around to see where Daddy is. LOL!
