message to Kylie and Kaylloyd - my four and a half son is also doing the exactly same thing - shaking his head away from the bottle then crying cos he wants it back. I worked in a nursery for 6 years and never experienced this, it's so strange. i've no idea why he does it. I'm getting so frustrated. Did either of you receive any suggestions?

please tell me is this is okay....I have a 15 wk old baby boy who only drinks 4 and 1/2 oz each feed and thats around about evry 3hrs except during the night when he wakes evry 4 hours. Is it okay for him to only be drinking that much as I've been told he should be drinking at least 5 oz each feed evry 4-5hrs?
Also how would I then go about stretching his feeds longer therefore hopefully making him drink more?
please please help!!!

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help me my 10 week old baby is taking 5 oz every 4 hrs starting at 7.30 am but coming to her evening drink at 7.30pm she starts crying and will only drink about 2-3 ozs as she is so tired.As soon as I put her into her cot she falls fast asleep and then could wake up at 3 or 4 am and take only 3 oz. Could someone please advise me on what I can do to get her to drink more during the evening. She sleeps well during the day.
