Refusing feeds

So my little girl is 3 months old and exclusively formula fed. She's currently on 6 ounces of C&G first infant and had no issues until now. She usually feeds every 3 hours or so depending on if she's napping or not, but now she keeps pushing the bottle out with her tongue after the tiniest bit and having been screaming for her bottle. Has anyone had this and has any advice?

We had this with my LO and it was because the flow was too slow and they got fed up and cranky from sucking so hard to get a small amount, have you tried faster teats ?

A number of things you could look into, As above, teat size may be too slow. Reflux can occur at any age between 0-10 months - try paced feeding. Infacol drops in the bottles may help with any excess gas. Milk temp, try it slightly warmer or cooler. It is not uncommon for 3mo to start teething too, so it could be that the teat is uncomfortable for her. You can try a cold teether or teething powders before a feed for this! If you try all of these and nothing works, then I’d go down the route of speaking to your HV or Dr x

Yes mine did this for a few weeks but only in the evenings, never drank his bedtime bottle and would only have a bit of the one before then suddenly it stopped and he started drinking them again with no problems.
