bubs is quite feisty at the bottle when we start feeding. She gets really frustrated when I take it away to burp her. Once she has had about 40ml she settles, when she hits about 60ml she gets a bit sleepy - this is usually when we change her nappy and she brings up a bit of milk most of the time - enough to choke and make me lay her on her side to bring up the milk. Once she has nearly finished her feed she tends to get a bit sleepy/lazy and will choke and cough again.
By the time I put her down in her bassinet she is usually asleep or drifting off, and within about 10min she is bringing milk up again and usually followed by hiccups. During her night feeds this can be a nightmare to me cause I end up staying awake listening out for her throwing up or choking.
The MCHN told me to just raise her bassinet with a file or towel if I am concerned, but when we tried this she ends up squashed at the end of her bassinet
I know all babies posset, but this just seems a bit excessive?
