Baby doesn’t want to drink

The last two weeks my baby just doesn’t want to drink her bottles. She will have like 50 ml and the rest is a struggle (she’s on 7oz 5x a day). I’ve tried different temp, different teat and also tried to wait longer between bottles but no matter what I try she just doesn’t want to drink it. Starting to get worried as every feed is a struggle to get her to drink and she’s been having much less overall. Any tips or had it ever happened to anyone?

I’m currently going through this now with my little one, I don’t know whether it’s Because she has a cold or if she’s just being fussy, I just have to keep offering all the time, I am wasting a lot of milk x

Weve just had this with baby boy. Probably lasted about 3 weeks. Combined with a cough/cold. He’s just randomly started drinking normally again the last few days 🤷‍♀️ just made sure to offer little and often and not try and force it and stress him x

Is she teething? My little boy was the same & I upped the teat and also started putting some teething gel on before as he was just chewing the teat and is he is now back to drinking all his bottles which he hasn’t done in weeks!!! X

@Mel yeah it’s so tough I will try to feed her more often and see if she ends up drinking bit more x

@Ayesha she’s got a bit of a cold now but she was doing that before too so god knows! Will definitely offer her a little more often

@Danielle don’t think she is teething properly yet, she does chew a lot but that’s the only sign so far. We’ve changed her to faster teat few weeks ago and she’s been drinking better but now this happened

My little one is teething and currently not finishing his bottles and off his milk x

Yeah my boy was the same. He went from 30/35 oz to barely having 15/18 some days. I tried to offer 3oz basically hourly. Sometimes he’d take it and sometimes he’d only have sips. It’s so hard but it’s a normal phase from what I’ve read xx

My baby is doing this just now, doesn’t seem to want to feed much at all. I just keep offering!
