15 week old fussing and a bit off feeds

[shelley72]

I should know the answer to this, but I can't for the life of me remember as I didn't have this issue with DD1. My 15 week old is getting really fussy at the breast at won't take a good feed. She's snacking a lot and much prefers her thumb. She is quite dribbly and so probably starting to teethe.

Is there any other reason she may be reluctant to feed? I will get her weighed next week and see how that's doing, as we did have a few issues with reluctance to feed / low weight gain when she was born. She also had tongue tie which was snipped and still has a shallow latch.

DD1 was such a prolific feeder it's all a bit new to me!

possibly a combination of getting distracted as she is more aware of everything around her, and potential teeth! teething def made all of mine pretty fussy, but it did pass

Could it be reflux if she is wanting to suck but not feed?

Thanks for the replies, I've only just got back to this. interesting as you mentioned reflux - dd1 had this and was a lot more unsettled, very sicky and constantly feeding. dd hasn't shown any of these signs, but she does hate to be flat, much prefers to be upright.

She definitely has been more alert and interested in everything lately so I wonder if it's just that? Will see how her weight is this week
