Huge feeding problems

Hi...

My 15 week old DD has recently started eating very little.

She wakes up at about 6.30am and shows no interest in food at all. So I have started leaving it for a while but have now got to the point where she has hardly eaten at all before her morning nap. When she does eat it is for about 2 minutes and then she turns away and gets very cross.

This goes on all day. I am worried that she is getting too many calories at night (she still wakes up at 11.00ish and 3.00ish) and therefore doesn't need as many during the day. I have been trying to give her extra feeds during the day to get more calories in but she WILL NOT feed.

I am getting really stressed and upset about it as I am concerned she is not eating enough.

She is putting on weight/filling nappies etc.. but it is very stressfull as all I seem to be doing is trying to get her to feed. She used to feed whenever I offered it to her but something has changed and I don't know what.

I hope someone can help as I am at my wits end.

Thanks

Nice news. So she is the champion speed-feeder then!

Ella obviously knows what she's up to - just take her lead
