My Moose Wont Eat! Help!
For the past couple of days Mahlon has stopped wanting to eat. He gets really fussy when I try to feed him and will turn his head away from the bottle. Once I remove the bottle he acts like he is hungry, but then cries when I try to feed him. So, it becomes this back and forth game of me trying to feed him by putting the bottle back in his mouth and he will either spit it back out or just chew on the nipple without swallowing anything.
I've also noticed that he wants to nurse more. Do you think this is teething related? He doesn't have any teeth yet but he chews on his hands and sucks on them a lot. He also just got his 4 month shots a couple of days ago so it worries me that he doesn't want to eat.
I have been trying to breastfeed him more now that he's refusing the bottle, but I'm not sure that he's getting enough without the formula.
