Ohhh I know you are all trying to make me feel better and only here to help, but we have been struggling for longer then I care to remember now and things really don't improve that much. Vic we have tried everything and more that you have suggested and the only way we have found of late is to lay him flat on his back. But the most successful feed is while he is asleep, just did one then and he drank a whole 120ml, Whahooo. Feeding has been no better today:

9am 60ml (with struggle)
9.40am 60ml (fed rest of bottle while he was asleep)
12.20pm 60ml (with struggle)
3pm 120ml whahooo (while asleep)

So I guess my question to you ladies would be if your babies are not drinking more then 600ml, do they drink as little as 60ml or less in one feed? My paed and the dietitican, and my sister (who is a dietician) all agree he should be drinking 800-850ml to keep up with other babies, this is why he dropped well under the 5th percentile. And each feed he would at least throw up 20ml which is alot considering 60ml is only going in at times. This is why I worry too!

Anyway if he would feed without a fight I would certainly be happier, we have to scheme to get him to feed, it is just a never ending battle.

I have been speaking to my reflux support group and they really believe the yoghurt didn't help, it was soothing his throat but doing damage. I kind of agree, due to the feeding, but also he wasn't really that unsettled really. But he has been sleeping way more, which is certainly very unusual for him as much as I think finally, I also think mmmmm... maybe not enough fluids too! Anyway for now I am happy with him sleeping so well and puttting himself to sleep, I will just keep an eye on him and make sure it is not due to pure lethargicness.

I do realise you girls were trying to help don't worry, but sometimes I don't think people really realise the struggle I go thru to even feed him that (like the 345ml), but then if I wasn't going thru it I probably wouldn't realise the extremeness of it either. That is where this reflux support group is great and they know exactly where I am coming from. Like I have said before, no harder job in the world to feed a baby that WON'T feed. Not even eating solids so it's not as if that is filling him up. My SIL this morning helped me feed him, and she just couldn't believe it. Gotta strip him off as he bows his head won't look at me and clamps his mouth shut, and due to this we get it everywhere, even with holding his hands down so he doesn't try to knock it out of my hands.

Going for a swim now, catchya later.
