11 Week Old not feeding

[Moochie87]

Wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom or has been through something similar and can give me a pep talk..
My daughter is 11 weeks old, she’s always been a snacker, loves a 3-4oz bottle but the last two days everything has gone out the window. She makes all the “I’m hungry signals” but will literally not eat, she sucks on the bottle for 2 seconds, arch’s back and pulls off. Then you try again she tries to suck and pulls off. I call the GP today and he said sounds like an upper respiratory issue and to give calpol every 6 hours. This sort of made sense… maybe she’s got a sore throat. But the calpol isn’t actually helping. She’s not got a temperature, she’s smiley in the day but does not want to eat. As you can imagine I am very worried. She’s been very catnappy all day and doesn’t seem very settled.

Anyone got any advice?

Thank you x

Is she weeing ok?

At the minute yes, conscious of this because I am worried about her getting dehydrated. Takes a long while but I just have to keep offering her the bottle and taking it away and put it back and slowly she’s taking an oz or so! It’s just very traumatic and I can’t figure out what’s going on 😔

Could be ears or throat, could be a bit of reflux. I would not pressure her with the bottle at all. Be led by her for now and just watch the urine output like a hawk

This was my life, she’s now nearly a year and I’m skipping with joy.

No advice really, just keep offering little and often. I think we pretty much had a bottle on the go all day. We would also dream feed to get some oz in!

Have you tried going up a test size?
