DD has always been a fussy feeder but has recently got a cold and been upset by jabs. Has slept thro since 8 weeks but last few days has been progressively more fussy and taking less. Started waking at 6 not 7 and last night woke roaring for food at 4.30. Annoyingly took 5 oz which she never takes even if she's slept through. grr! Have been using karvol to try and unblock nose but is also showing major teething signs. Should I try a faster flow teat? (am currently on 2 flow (tommeetippe) designed for 3 month (DD is 14 weeks) their 3 is for 6 months but that's only guidlines? How do I get her to take more in the day? Is clearly hungry but shakes head from side to side and spit out the teat. HELP! Am going mad!

Ali, it sounds very much as if she's very blocked up and feeding causes her distress because she can't breathe.
It is very frustrating.
You can use medised from three months and thatis good for unblocking. As for teats. I have always used a veruflow one, as that way I know they can contol the speed of the flow.
Good luck
