DD is 6.5 weeks and gaining spectacularly. Couple of weeks ago she started pulling off and arching during feeds, grunting, straining and really struggling to sleep for up to an hour after feeds. Before this started she'd easily fall asleep on the breast or wherever she was. She's always hated sleeping on her back. She also makes lots of gulping noises, retches and chokes/stops breathing/whistles sometimes.
Doc says this is since she had a cold aged 3 weeks her nasal passages are narrow and blocked and she's pulling off to breathe. But I don't understand why that would make her so unsettled and painful after a feed. I suspect he's off the mark. Would you agree?
