Have been feeding and rocking and chucking nelsons powder stuff down her neck for what feels like the past week...in reality its probably the last 3 days. BUT, her routine, massive feeds and general structure has gone totally. Her teeth hurt so she doesn't feed as well, which means daytime naps are about 45mins long at the most, then she's hungry within 2 hours, but then tired again.....(the only saving grace is that she cluster feeds in the evening and had slept well at night). Basically I just need a bit of handholding and reassurance that it won't be like this forever and i'll get my scrummy smiley baby back soon enough x

14 weeks would be quite early for teething. If things don't improve it could be worth talking to your HV or GP. If it really is teething, my experience was that it tended to happen in blocks. A few weeks of bother followed by a few weeks of calm... and repeat. Can stop as quickly as it starts.

14-16 weeks is a time for a growth spurt I'm afraid!!

I also don't think it's teething, it will pass teething or not :) all these little stages come and go fortunetly just ride it out and you will have your lovely baby back soon.
