    The amount of bm at this stage can vary a lot - but that doesn't sound like enough fluid to stop constipation. Can you give her more "liquid" with her food (i.e. grapes, watermelon, porridge, yoghurt, lots of foods that have quite a high water content)?
    Also maybe try not heating the bottle - really cold might be nicer on the teeth.
    If you feed her with her more vertical is it any better - I'm just wondering if she's got a stuck poo and doesn't really want to lie down.

    can you give her the EBM in the straw cup/sippy rather than the bottle??
