Lately Ava has been playing up on the bottle. She'll take 100 mls, stop, arch her back, scream and try and take the bottle again, then do the same thing all over again.
Im wondering if it has something to do with her teething? Shes 7 months old and Im sure i can see something coming through. Oh and she has no problems with her solids - just her milk, so im thinking it is the sucking on the bottle that is hurting her gums? |

| Yeah it could be - just to be safe maybe give her some gripe water to see if its a bit of wind trapped. Jack would do that with teething though - sometimes he broke down in tears throughout a whole bottle feed because it was so sore but wouldn't stop because he was hungry. Another option is (and its a very annoying option) to syringe the milk into her mouth - then you would see if its sucking related or the actual milk. |

sounds like exactly what Cian used to do when he had silent reflux... she's quite old though (his stopped more or less when he hit 6 months) but the arched back is a classic sign... ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">
