Feeding issues with 7 week old

So my little girl has been pretty much a dream up until now. She is suddenly so distressed a lot through the day and when it comes to some of her feeds she screams while trying to feed and I'm lucky if I get half an ounce into her, but other times she can take the full 4oz in the bottle.

She doesn't have a temp, she is still having regular wet nappies and when she is awake and not wanting to feed she is still smiling and is very alert. She still sleeps quite well on a night too.

I just don't know if this is due to a growth spurt (As she is very clingy too) and it will just be something that gets better over time or if I should be worrying about something.

I hate seeing my little princess so upset :( I just want to be able to help her but I just don't know what to do for the best. I see my Health Visitor next week but any advice in the mean time would be appreciated.

Look in her mouth - can you see any white patches inside on her cheeks?

And what size bottle teet are you using? Maybe you need to move to a faster flow one?
