A few minutes into a feed, my 3 month old starts crying, turning away, arching her back and going stiff as a board. After this there is no getting her latched on again - usually it takes lots of rocking and a mini nap to start again. This is happening at most daytime feeds but curiously never in the night. She is in treatment for silent reflux which was the start of this behaviour but it seems like while her pain is gone, the behaviour hasn't. Before the reflux symptoms began at 8 weeks she was a great feeder and if nothing else the lazy type rather than fussy. Has anyone else come across this? One thing I thought was an over active letdown but because she mostly goes for a few minutes before crying I'm not sure this is it. Also there are no signs of thrush.
Thanks!!!
