Please help me - I just don't understand what's happening with my nearly 7 wk DD. I have excl bf her and there have been no real problems.
But about a week ago, she got a cold and started feeding less - ok, fine, she was just a bit sick. The doctor checked her out, gave me saline drops and I thought it would all be fine.
But about 24 days ago, she just started refusing to feed, screaming after a few sucks an hitting me and thrashing her legs as if she's in real pain. She calms down if I hold her upright in 'burping position', but doesn't seem to have wind. And if I offer again, she gets v upset again. Has anyone else had this? I'm distraught as feel she must need the strength but I can't offer what she needs.
