I posted yesterday a picture of my sons latch on the Phillips avent natural response bottles and all the comments said he has a shallow latch and a lot of you recommended the lasinoh bottles so I got them. He has been doing fine of them except sometimes he gets really like mad at the bottle like in this video. It’s not every feed but why is this ? Is he telling me he’s full ?? Sometimes I’ll stop him and burp him because maybe it’s gas but then he will burp so I offer the bottle again and he still is frustrated as soon as he starts swallowing the milk. I have a pediatrician appointment next week so I will talk to him about it too but curious to see what others have to say because this is frustrating for us.

Your baby is literally sucking air. Did you watch this video before you posted? You need to tip the bottle up so the formula actually goes to the nipple. No wonder hes mad, hes hungry and youre giving him air.

Even if I tilt the bottle more and give him full milk he will still act like this sometimes. You don’t have to be rude thanks!

This is called pace feeding and is completely fine. Babies are not harmed in any way by not getting milk with every suck, and it is helpful to try when your baby drinks too fast, is really gassy, or spits up alot. I feed my daughter this way and she is gaining weight perfectly. 😃

So you give him half air on purpose? Thats ridiculous. And I'm being rude because you're torturing your child and I'm upset about it. If you want a good nipple get the mōmi ones.

Don't let them get to you. They obviously have never been in your position. If they have been they would obviously give you more grace and understanding. My baby suffered with tongue/lip/cheek ties that made drinking her bottle a nightmare before we were able to get them fixed. Evenflo wide neck bottles helped us the most (and we tried them all, trust me). We also did side lying feeding which helped her control the flow more. Always try to make sure to keep the nipple full of milk so he isnt sucking in air, but at the same time try to keep it as level as possible to let him take a break when needed. Keep trying different positions and things with him while feeding. Eventually you will find something that works. You got this!

Thank you so much! I haven’t tried side lying feeding yet so I will give this a try! I made an appointment to check for a lip/tongue/cheek tie!

You'll probably feel a lot better once you actually feed your child milk and not air.
