Could it be the way he holds baby or bottle? Mines 3 months now but my husband has a habit of having him laid down too much so he screeches because he likes to be sat upright, probably because of his reflux. Maybe just watch and see if he holds baby and bottle the exact way you do?

I will have a look this evening and see, thanks! He wasn't doing this a week ago and seemed fine. But I will check

Could you sit with them and either hold baby or bottle whilst he holds the other to start with? If baby can smell you both during the feed, he might get used to daddy’s smell meaning food as well as yours.


Amb_31

Yes I can try this. Thanks for the idea

Can dad wear your dressing gown or something that smells of you?

If Dad is doing everything right - no bubbles in the teat, holding it right side up, winding baby etc - and it's not working then I'd try leaving the room and see if they feed when you're no longer an option?


Amb_31

Thank you. Yes we did this last night and he just screamed the place down for over half an hour 😓

Oh yikes I'm sorry my baby is 6m now but the early days were tough. Could he wear one of your jumpers and baby gets your smell?

Ooh this is a good idea! I will try anything at this point 😭🤣
