restless drinking
Mama vanJ
Hi everyone,
We have a little boy who’s just over 6 weeks old. He’s been drinking his bottles very restlessly, kicking and hitting. It’s quite a struggle to get him to drink. But it’s not like this with every bottle. Last Thursday, I took him to the doctor, who said he had something white in his mouth and suspected thrush. We got medicine for that, but so far, no improvement at all. Now, my little guy is really congested and seems to have a sore throat (when he coughs, his face scrunches up and he cries a bit). Does anyone have any tips?

Does he also swallow a lot of air while drinking? Then you could check if there's a burp stuck in there. Sometimes my daughter also drinks very restlessly, and then I let her burp more often in between, just to help sometimes. -

That trick has already been tried but without any result, anonymous...
