We have a nearly 3 month old baby (just shy of 13oz.) at home that
REFUSES to burp. It does not matter if he's breatfeeding or using the
bottle, the same issue persists. While using the bottle (Dr. Brown
with level 2 nipple), he starts to squirm after 1oz of milk. We
attempt to burp him for literally 10-20 minutes but nothing comes
out. During this time he starts to get sleepy. If we attempt to put
him back on the bottle sooner, he squirms and doesn't really take in
an milk (drools it out). Finally after 20 minutes a burp will come
and if he's not too sleepy he'll continue eating another ounce or so.
This pattern continues and a normal 4 oz. feeding takes over an hour.
This started about 2 weeks ago or so, there's no other changes in him
or anything. Whil e burping we try everything, over the shoulder, him
sitting on our lap, laying down, nothing works!! We've tried burping
more ofter, also no better. We've tried the ant gas drops, still no
better. He does have infant reflux and is on Zantec (but has been for
awhile now, so don't think this is the cause). Any suggestions?
