my boy was exactly the same! it was sooo frustrating. he would start the bottle ok, then go mental about half way through. we went up to teat 2 and also changed to NAN ha1 formula. he was on s26. he is now much better. if he stops half way through, instead of trying to force him to drink it, we just leave him alone for half an hour and he usually finishes it then.
Beckels.. thanks so much for all your information, not ramble at all. Its really made me so happy actually to know what may be the reason behind it. I cant get to the doctor until monday but will definitely be going for that referral and hopefully we can get in asap. No way do i want to just wait and monitor it for things to get worse.. i know theres a problem now and its not fair on the poor little thing to be put through that pain just for us to sit back and watch it.
Mummajj.. thats what we have been doing too.. having to stop and come back to the rest of the bottle later. Its nice, well not nice but you know what i mean, to know others have experienced the same thing.
ETA.. a friend has just told me about a child doctor in the area which i have an appointment to see tomorrow morning! So hopefully he can give us some answers and if not will get a referral.

could it be that she has a milk protien allergy??? have you tried to express some milk and see what the reaction is?? (even if you just did it a few times)
Olive.. i dont think i have any milk left to express unfort.. not much anyways.
Well just wanted to let you know.. went to see the child doctor today and he was lovely. Put her on a low dose (0.5ml) of Zantac twice a day to see if it helps as shes only 3 weeks. Said we should see a difference in 1-2 days and if it does help to go back and see him after 2 weeks to reassess. The chemist said if after 5 days its not made much of an improvement to go back to the doctor as its either not strong enough or reflux isnt the problem. But i really think it is the problem so *hopefully* we'll be on the right track now.
Just want to thank you all for your help especially Beckels xx
