i have 3 month baby boy who was 2.6kg at his birth.He has always been a little feeder,not really wanting much of his bottle,and having to constantly keep waking him up after around 2 ounces so the feeds were lasting about an hour and a half! the trouble is that now by 3 months the problem hasnt got any better.he starts off hungry then by 2 ounces has had enough and looks bored and trys to push the teat out or spit the milk out,or coo and laugh at me! im trying every way possible to feed him from lying him straight on the sofa..in my arms...and in his chair..even standing up and rocking him while feeding but to no avail...he only likes his 2 ounces,(every 3 hours..have tried 4 hours and still the same!)and any milk he has over that, ive got into him after a struggle!the pediatrician is concerned and have tested him but he seems fine....what can you suggest as im worrying my self silly over this and dread feeding times! thanks
