I am absolutely at my wits end. My LO has always been a very good feeder. She has FF since she was little but had reflux and colic which we managed.
She had up until recently been on 8oz every three hours until 7pm which was her last feed. Sometimes we would cry for more at the 7pm feed and would have 12 oz but would settle through the night. I was told due to her teething and waking up in the night to feed that I should introduce the dream feed back and solids which we did very slowly. She stopped wanting as much milk - fine - so her routine went out to every 4 hours.
She now won't have anything like her normal amount at 7am, 11am or 3pm and just screams, it's a total thrashing nightmare to get more than 3oz in her per feed. She is clearly very hungry but just can't seem to settle into drinking.
Her bottom two teeth are in, I have tried anbesol and calpol before the feed and all this is impacting her sleep I think. She won't nap - no more than an hour and a half all day if I am lucky spead out across three naps and she's waking overnight but totally refusing milk. What can I do? I just want it to be ok for her, I feel like I'm failing so fundamentally with her and I just don't know what to do. GP and HV have nothing to add - just a phase, will pass, but how am I supposed to feed her?!
Please help - and please be gentle. I am really not in a great place at the moment and I know I'm doing wrong, I just need advice to make this right.
