Help! 8 week old wont feed :(

[lilwelshyrs]

DS is 8 weeks. Happy, healthy, feeding and sleeping well. We just had a growth spurt week of fussiness and constant feeding.

Today has been hell. He fed well at 4:30am and then finally fed well again at 12:30. He was on and off my breast for a good hour then. Before that he would root and then whenever i offered him breast he would just scream until i took it away. I was hoping after his big feed earlier that we were back on track. He's had infacol and dentinox too. I've been trying again and he wont have it. If i lie him down in his moses basket he usually just cheers up but I just tried it and he screamed.

What do i do? Who do i call? Im crying now too! :(

Oh and his weight has dropped from 50th to 25th percentile too.

Can't link at the mo but try googling breastfeeding strike (or something like that). I thought ds was on one recently. Seems to have resolved itself.

Thank you for replying. Im exhausted but i googled nursing strike and have followed a few of the tips like expressing and skin to skin and he's fed quite well these last few hours. I can only feed him lying down next to me in bed though!
