DD has had a cold since Sunday. Yesterday evening she was suddenly worse and screaming in obvious pain. Gave calpol and teething gel as she seemed to have a sore mouth. BF OK just after 9pm.
At 10pm she "asked" to be fed, opened her mouth wide and took the nipple then pulled away- almost like she'd been burnt. Carried on screaming. Offered her the other side. Took the nipple and bit down hard (she has 2 teeth).
She was awake most of the night, pushing up onto her hands and screaming. Offered the breast the first few times and had the same reaction. After about 3 times she just gave up asking.
When she was asleep I could see pain on her face.
Went to GP this morning. Will start another thread on that episode but he says nothing wrong. Throat OK, chest clear etc "just a cold". Told him she hadn't fed since 9.30pm (it was 11am) and he said "surely she's having more than just milk?" Well yes but not much. Told me to "make sure I got lots of fluids into her" how exactly? and that was that.
Got home and she finally fed at 11.30. But she hasn't since. This is a child who is on about 12 BF a day I tried a cup of water but she wasn't interested.
I've expressed 6oz this morning (I was desperate!) which I will try to give her in a bit but what's going on and what do I do now?!
