Baby refusing boob after 16 week jabs

Hi all

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience
Baby had her 16 week jabs today and is totally refusing boob. I can tell she's hungry as she'll go onto boob and really go for it but after a few seconds starts screaming

I'm going to try pumping now and give her a bottle instead (she's had bottles before so hoping she won't reject this either)

Anyone else experienced the same? Her first lot of jabs she just didn't want to feed at all but never showed signs of being hungry anyway. This time round she's showing signs of hunger

Poor love, she must be feeling rough. Have you tried Calpol and a teething gel, like Dentinox?

Also, it might be worth trying cup feeding as she may find it easier and it will take the hunger off and make her feel more settled.

One of the BFing Helplines may be able to give you some tips on getting her to feed too Thanks
