Only eating little and often
Matilda is 7 weeks and FF. She has been on 3oz (I always offer her 4 but she very rarely takes it) for about 4 weeks now. The problem is (at least I think it's a problem) that the time between her feeds is getting shorter and shorter but she simply will not take any more (she is very indignant and clamps her mouth shut). As well as the time between feeds getting shorter she seems very unsettled and, I think, unsatisfied. This is increasingly becoming a problem at night as well. She was starting to sleep for about 6 hours but we are back to waking every 2-3 hours now.
Anyone got any advice?

Haven't really got any other suggestions, but hope that things resolve for you soon xx
You may find that she gets a 'milk beard' the first couple of times, but as long as she's not obviously coughing/spluttering, it may be worth a couple of tries just so that she gets used to the flow, especially if she's been used to working hard for her milk,
My lo is exactly the same with cool boiled water-not interested in the slightest! Now she's nearing 6 months, I'm hoping she'll start taking water from a cup...xx
She would only ever have 2 - 3 oz, but would feed all the time. Then she got to about 4 months and started downing whatever you gave her!
Hope your good day continues!
