Baby is 5 months old, exclusively breastfed and refuses bottles. For the past month she has had extreme FOMO and will refuse to eat, unless we're in a dark, quiet room. She's also a relatively slow eater so I'm spending 30-45 minutes, in our bedroom with the lights off and the curtains drawn, every two hours.
It's making getting out of house so stressful and difficult. We have family from overseas staying and they have lots of sightseeing day trips planned, the first of which was today and it was a shitshow. Even sat in the car with a cover, or a blanket over both of us, she was thrashing around, grabbing at everything and breaking her neck trying to turn to look at every noise. Eventually she just refuses to latch and she ends up hungry, grumpy and overtired.
Is there anything I can do to make this easier? Will she grow out of this? We have flights booked next month (booked before this issue appeared) and I'm nervous she will refuse to eat the whole day. It's making breastfeeding so stressful.
