Will things ever get better?

14 week old ebf baby - total nightmare! Rubbish feeder - very on and off when feeding. Sometimes only feeds for 4/5 minutes and off 1 side only. Snack feeds during day, that is when she will actually take a feed - very often screams and arches her back away when I so much as put her near boob even though I am sure she is hungry - this especially happens in the evening when she whines all evening but refuses to feed. Then wants feeding 3 or 4 times in night when she barely wakes us and feeds lovely. She has now decided that she only wants to feed off 1 side too. HV suggested reflux and we are using gaviscon, but making no difference. I dread every feed, am thoroghly miserable and very stressed. Constantly narky with the other 2 kids and husband. Have been trying to get her to take ac bottle but she wont. I feel like I am in a dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. At 14 weeks on SURELY things should be getting better, but I feel they are getting worse. Very unhappy mummy Sad

If it helps, my DS went through a similar phase at around the same age and it did pass. It won't last forever.

Thank you! I hope the same happens with us. After another evening of whining its now time for upstairs and I am again expecting a beating from her before another tough night!

Good luck! Hope you manage to get some sleep between feeds!
