Hi mummies, my lil bub is 4 month old and is drinking 90ml in infant care on an avg 3 times a day, when we are home i direct latch. Previously she was only drinking 80ml and i have just increased to 90ml 2 weeks ago after my massage lady commented that my bub is drinking too little. The teachers feedback that she was slow drinker and suggest to change bigger teat. should i change to bigger teat and risk being rejected by bub? should i increase to 100ml per feed?

Even when bub is drinking 80ml previously, IFC only feedback that she takes quite some time to finish her milk. when we are back after IFC, bub will latch 2-3 times between 7pm+ to 10pm+. sometimes she will latch for quite long. i think this is cluster feed? baby's weight is on the lower percentile on the chart, i think 15 percentile.
