Feeding trouble
My son is 21 days old and gets extremely agitated and restless before a feed it takes approximately 30 min for him to latch on bottle. Aftet he has latched on he takes time to drink the milk and sometimes sleeps on the bottle. He is a pre term baby because of IUGR and oligohydramnios. My inability to lactate resulted in him getting top feed thru the bottle. I am using the avent phillips

How often are you feeding him...see the nipple size and thickness. Avent nipples are very big.. Might be it's leading to frustration.. Take pigeon bottle.. it's suitable for Indian population
