My DD is exclusively bf and in the last 2 wks has become unsettled when feeding, pulling on my nipple when feeding and flailing her arms about. It seems to be in frustration or pain but I am sure its not wind (I've dealt with that before) and my milk supply is ok. It's also coincided with lots of drooling and hand sucking. If I take her off the breast she protests but then quickly loses interest in feeding.
There's also a sleep problem - she won't got to sleep without screaming, hardly naps in the day and wakes up thrashing around and is hard to settle back down. I had thought this was down to overtiredness and wind, but now wonder if it's connected to the feeding issue.
Anyone recognise these symptoms? I instinctively feel there's something wrong, and have had reflux and early teething suggested to me, but not sure.
