Hi all - DD (2 weeks old) is EBF and up until the last few days was feeding really well. She was born very small at 36+5 and everyone seemed quite happily surprised that she was latching on easily, feeding on demand, and had exceeded her birth weight by her first midwife appointment.
Fast forward to the last few days and she suddenly seems a bit out of sorts, particularly around feeding - thrashing her arms and head around a lot, alternating between really short and long feeds (minutes to almost 2 hours) and suffering with a very blocked nose on and off. Yesterday in particular she had to be prompted to feed and was then putting her hands in front of the breast and resisting, crying a lot, and must have spat up about 20 times, when before that she'd never really done that.
I spoke to our GP who asked to have a look over her and said she didn't have any immediate concerns but to look out for dehydration. Since then DD has carried on with only very short feeds (a few mins to max 15) prompted by me and is grimacing and putting her hands in her mouth a lot.
Googling is pointing me towards reflux. Does that sound possible? I'm struggling a bit as it seems to have come on so suddenly after things being fine and she just doesn't seem gappy. Also feel quite a big responsibility to keep her weight up and get her on track after she had to come early (I had pre-eclampsia and the placenta was failing).
Thanks for sticking with all that and for any insight on similar experiences!
