[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would actually try to stretch feeding intervals out a bit longer. Sometimes when they eat 2 oz every 2 hrs it's more like a snack and they never really feel really hungry. I would try 2.5-3 hrs at a higher volume for the same total volume per day. That being said I've worked with probably over 1000 babies and I can't recall a newborn who refuses a bottle- usually it's the opposite problem- so I would definitely be pushing for some sort of evaluation. If you suspect tongue tie, you can probably make an appointment with a ENT or dentist yourself depending on your insurance plan. [/quote]

Most newborns eat every two hours. They have small stomach and can only eats 2-3 ounces at a time. [/quote]

And this is not true at all. Many newborn babies refuse breast and many newborn refuse refuse the bottle. [/quote]

I know at least 10 babies that refused bottles as newborns/infants. [/quote]

Guarantee you they all had moms who never left the house.  [/quote]
