  • Hi love i have lots of problems feeding faith she not keen on her bottle. so he having in between 15 to 21oz that is ok. May be try and feed him in his sleep adding more milk to his food or add yougurts . It must be so hard for just wont to send you big hugs to you boys as long as his butting the weight you will be ok. Have talk to HV and you need any more help i am on here most of the time .try not to worry hun i now how it feels when they wont eat.
