Would thrush make 9 mo dd feed more often?

[ragd0ll]

DD's never been a good sleeper but last night she woke every hour and refused to settle unless i fed her, Im pretty sure we've got thrush so going docs today but would that make her wake for feeds more or am I clutching at straws?!

Not sure about thrush as I've no experience.

Plenty of other reasons for her to suddenly wake all night long though. Teething is our favourite reason to feed all night long. Anything that wakes her and has her feeling under the weather and in need of comfort will do it.

mmmm ds and I have had thrush several times but i do not remember him feeding more frequently, just being very fussy as obviously in discomfort latching on.

It may be that your dd finds feeding painful so tries to do it little and often. If, like ds, she had it on the inside of her bottom lip for example it is possible.

Back from docs and she says def not thrush.
Alice It probably is her teeth she's only got 2 so we're due some more.
I've been so lucky with bf, had no pain at all really so to get to 9mo and suddenly have really painful nipples is really frustrating.
