dd is now 18 wks old and has been mis fed since coming home from scbu. She has been having breastfeeds and cow and gate premium. For the past fortnight she has been extremely fussy when feeding. She is clearly hungry but if offered a bottle will gulp down 30mls or so and then get very cross and upset, screaming and arching her back. If I'm with her then she will settle with some breastfeeding but only for a very short time, less than 5 min. Then she cries again and looks hungry but appears unsatisfied by my breast and frustrated by the bottle too. It's horrible to see and really difficult if dp is feeding her as he can't offer her a breast like I can. I've tried her with a faster teat but it doesn't seem to help. I was wondering if it was reflux although she isnt a particularly sickly baby and this has only been a prob for the past couple of weeks. Things seem to be getting worse not better and I really don't know what to do.
