Fussing at the bottle

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
For the past few days, DD is fussing at the bottle at almost every feeding.  She twists her head and her body and cries until I take the bottle out of her mouth.  It can't be that shes not hungry because she just went 5 hours without eating and now she is fussing.  It is so frustrating.  What could this be??

    oh my goodness, my little one has been pulling the same shiit with me. some feedings go much better than others, but it's been like this for the past week or so. is your little one drinking at all? mine is, but she went from being a very greedy eater-- 4-5 ounces every 2-3 hours-- to being finicky and drinking 4 ounces every 3 hours IF i'm lucky. sometimes it's less than that, and i feel like i have to force feed her since she's so fussy!

    my pedi isn't much held but i hear around this time fussiness and gas increase because of the growing and maturing of the GI tract. i hope it matures quickly!!

    Yes, she's eating, but it is a chore to get her to do so.  She seems to be eating better during her nighttime feeding than the does during her daytime feedings. 

    My pedi always tells me that she's just fussy.  It irritates me so much because I KNOW that she is fussy, that doesn't explain the sudden change in eating.  I don't want to think that it is the formula since it never bothered her before.  I just dont know, it is SO annoying!  It can take about an hour sometimes to feed her!

    Is she arching her back at all? Making the "pain face" when she does get around to eating?

    DS has AR and it started like that. He would get down the first ounce and then get really fussy, and it would take forever to feed him, He is colicy so I thought it was gas at first so I would try to burp him and it usually made things worse.

    Could be something to think about.

    Same here.  Most feedings are an epic battle.  It doesn't seem like AR because it's not every feeding, and if we change activities he's usually fine.  I just feel like most days he only drinks half as much as he's supposed to.  He's gaining though so I guess I just have to deal with it.

    Mine did this for about 2 weeks or so but now he's back to normal.  He will fuss every now and then but usually he's tired when he does it.  It will pass just hang in there.  They will eat when they are hungry.  Oh, mine also did better at night and first feeding of the day I think because he was hungry the most at these times.  gl!

     This is exactly what we are dealing with. LO screams at his bottle, grunts, arches his back, etc. He doesn't do it with every feeding, but with a lot of them. It is awful. Most days I feel like I'm going to lose my mind while trying to feed him.
