Were you saying that the baby sucks in bursts of about 3 suck/swallows 
and then comes off each time? If sucking bursts are consistently short, 
that could point to a cardiorespiratory problem too. Is there any 
stridor (high pitched, squeeky breathing) or blue hands and feet? 
Panting in the pauses? Evidence of working too hard to breathe?

If a baby with a respiratory issue (laryngomalacia, tracheomalacia) or a 
cardiac problem were schedule fed ala Babywise, that could certainly 
contribute to failure to thrive. Babies for whom feeding is scary will 
often start balking around 3 months of age.
